Sean and I lived in Morocco for nearly 2 years when our two oldest kids were just babies. It was so difficult when we finally had to say goodbye to that incredible place. For anyone that has been, you know the scents are one of the most potent allures of this storied land. When I light this candle, I am transported back to the hidden riads, among the souk. The sensory magic found within the meandering maze of the medina, where we were always -always! - offered sweet mint tea. - Em
