The High Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Inspiration: In addition to being photogenic and willing to be photographed, I found the Berbers in the Atlas Mountains to be some of the friendliest and warmest people that I've met. At the end of two days in the mountains, our guide (who was born in Paris, grew up in a village in the Atlas Mountains, lives in Marrakech and speaks five languages) took us to meet his grandparents in the small village in which he grew up. We were treated to an hour of wonderful hospitality (including watching Sleepless in Seattle on their satellite TV - the first and only time we watched TV during the whole trip) and big, giant hugs upon our departure.
I WONDER WHAT ARE THEY THINKING... o.O
