Week 2: Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹 & Marrakesh, Morocco 🇲🇦
Week 2 of our mother-son adventure took us to two incredible destinations: Lisbon and Marrakesh—each unforgettable in its own way. 🇵🇹🇲🇦
The award for best food definitely goes to Lisbon! My son is still talking about the amazing meals we enjoyed there, especially at Familjen, where somehow every dish that arrived was even better than the one before. Our days were filled with exploring Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, the Monument of Discoveries, Green Street, and the Santa Justa Lift (which unfortunately wasn’t operating that day). One of my favorite moments was simply sitting by the water, enjoying great conversation while overlooking what felt like a smaller version of the Golden Gate Bridge and Christ the Redeemer.
Marrakesh brought the award for most fun! It was vibrant, energetic, and full of adventure, less relaxed than some of our other stops, but just as hot as Florida. We wandered through the stunning Jardin Majorelle, explored Le Jardin Secret, shopped in Jemaa el-Fna and along Souk Semmarine, and embarked on an unforgettable Agafay Desert Safari. Along the way, we also visited Park Arsat, Lake Lalla Takerkoust, and the iconic Koutoubia Mosque.
As we look ahead to our next adventures, our hearts are filled with gratitude. We are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to experience these beautiful places together. God made this journey possible, blessed us with wonderful memories, and brought us safely back home.
