A Gothic Hat…
This is my inspiration from my trip to Spain a few years back. You might spot it in in my ads supporting KNKX Radio in 2019…
A Berber-inspired Hat…
If you’ve been following me here, you will know that every country I visit, inspires a hat. This one is inspired by a door in a kasbah in Morocco.

We depart the Todra Gorge and head toward a magnificent citadel, and yet another carpet loom…

I would have happily stayed in the Red Dunes for a few more days, but we have more camels and kasbahs to see… and Doug’s friend Said!

Fez is the second oldest city in the world after Jerusalem, filled with endless fascinations…

We arrive in Rabat, founded in the 10th century, now the second largest metropolis in Morocco. I spy textiles on the third floor of our riad.
