Guest Speaker: Ann Crawley shared highlights of her OAT (Overseas Travel Adventure) trip to Morocco. Morocco is a very diverse county- culturally, ethnically, architecturally, and geographically. The group spent a memorable two nights in the Sahara Desert, time in several cities and the other days in very rural areas. At one stop, they were welcomed into the home of a woman who made them a simple meal of eggs and bread. The group saw ruins in several areas, kings’ palaces, and beautiful mosaics everywhere. Fes was a highlight for her and is famous for its white pottery. At one point, they rode camels and visited with a nomad. She was weaving and shared how she repaired their tent. “What was amazing about this trip was that this is how people really live.” Ann shared that the people were very friendly and welcomed them to their country and into their homes. She shared beautiful pictures and the presentation so much information. Ann, Linda and Joe encouraged people to travel to Morocco, especially with OAT.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:40.
