A la prochaine, incha'allah

Our last breakfast in the Riad.

The boys were impressed with the flowers in the pool.  The Riad was being decorated for the New Year's party that night. We got cheap tickets by flying on the 31st.  The flight was full of families with young kids who did not care to miss all the partying.

The entrance to the Riad.

One needs to be cautious in the Place Jemma El Fna as there are Diamondback Rattlesnakes, Cobras and other venomous snakes hanging out.

Jaxon wanted a picture but was not willing to get too close.

I am pretty sure these snakes had been devenomized, but sure makes you nervous to see these in such a crowded area. 

To finish off the trip we took a carriage ride through the old town

Baby Eva enjoyed yet another great meal

The boys found a compromise to enable Jonas to lay down and Jaxon to kneel.

Male belly dancers...we did not stay to watch...

Our last meal in Morocco at a restaurant near our Riad that we passed everyday.  The lady who worked there had a baby daughter.  Everyone loved Eva.  The Moroccans snap their fingers to attract babies attention and Eva would often give big smiles in return.

This guy helped us find our Riad the first day and made sure we got a reasonable price with our Taxi.  We saw him many times throughout the week and he always greeted each of us with a big smile and kisses for the kids.

Jaxon meets the EasyJet carry on size restrictions.  Maybe next time we'll take him as carry-on.

Eva was an amazing little traveler and adventurer on her first trip to Africa.  She did great on the flights, buses, 4x4, camels and in the scarf and slept great in her Pack-and-Play we lugged around with us.  As we say - start them traveling when they are young! Traveling with the children was wonderful as they add so much to the discovery and experience.  We all experienced so many new things together and had an amazing Christmas in Morocco!
