Just Thank You all for the support to this blog!<BR/>Wish you a great holiday season and all the best for you, families and friends!<BR/><BR/>Peter,<BR/>You probably noticed that I’m posting on India February 2008; that makes 10 months delay; but with so many pictures I’ve from India, I won’t be able to keep the record... Even if I publish only a small percentage of the more than 1300 pictures I took on those days... ;)<BR/>PS: I got one: offered! ;))<BR/><BR/>Olivier,<BR/>Je t’envie beaucoup: tandis que je me dissous dans les papiers tu te promènes à New York… ;))<BR/><BR/>Pete,<BR/>I’m sure you’ll be travelling everywhere soon! It seems you’re having all the time in the world… Lucky guy!<BR/>Maghreb is a great choice!<BR/><BR/>Joyce,<BR/>Thanks! You’re too kind!<BR/><BR/>Sue,<BR/>Don’t mention the word «busy»; I hardly have time to breathe... ;)). Hope you have a great trip!<BR/><BR/>Paz,<BR/>You’re the best!!<BR/><BR/>Addy,<BR/>It’s a quite colourful country! And you definitely got us on the mirror... ;)<BR/><BR/>Ted,<BR/>The place is truly wonderful; not just the pictures!<BR/><BR/>Alok,<BR/>It’s not such a small world! Unfortunately time to travel is scarce and at a premium... ;)<BR/><BR/>Mariposa,<BR/>The pottery was amazing!<BR/>Merry Christmas to you too!<BR/><BR/>Ron,<BR/>The mirror was a great catch...<BR/><BR/>Alice SG,<BR/>The street scenes were absolutely stunning, but I didn’t want to get the people in the pictures as they might not feel comfortable with the idea!<BR/><BR/>Priyank,<BR/>Just imagine where I should be heading next... ;))<BR/><BR/>Cutie,<BR/>Those stucco works were awesome!<BR/><BR/>Lara,<BR/>Great to see you back. Unfortunately my schedule doesn’t improve... ;)<BR/>Have a great holiday!<BR/><BR/>Lalilita,<BR/>Lovely to read you here!<BR/><BR/>Cuckoo,<BR/>I think those intricate works put everybody speechless!<BR/><BR/>Lakshmi,<BR/>No, Just the Grand and the Barber’s; and not allowed to get to the inside of them. Just the patio... Quite different than in Istanbul...<BR/><BR/>Lyliane,<BR/>«Encadrés» c’est bien le terme... ;)<BR/>Je crois que je resterais ici; trop de travail, pas de chance de sortir. Mais l’année prochaine la Normandie, ça sera sûr… (J’espère…)!<BR/><BR/>Indrani,<BR/>The carpets of Kairouan are famous, and deservedly so!!<BR/><BR/>JoAnn,<BR/>Morocco has some similarities, but even in times of globalization each country has its own features!!<BR/>I’ll be staying around for Christmas as I just left office by 21H00 yesterday and have a busy day on Friday...<BR/>Take your time and enjoy!!<BR/><BR/>Pietro,<BR/>The stuccos of the Barber’s are awesome! And the house shows that it belonged to a Pasha! ;)<BR/>Merry Christmas to you too!<BR/><BR/>Lisa,<BR/>Thanks. Sorry for the sad news on your blog!<BR/><BR/>Jo,<BR/>Ah, finally someone is catching the ceilings. Amazing, aren’t they?<BR/><BR/>Alice,<BR/>Mais tu auras beaucoup plus à voir. Vaut le voyage (Michelin ***)! ;))<BR/><BR/>Jules,<BR/>Hope to see you back soon: amazing broadband in PNG… ;)<BR/>I wouldn’t mind to get jetlagged with a trip to PNG… ;))<BR/><BR/>Celine,<BR/>Lucky girl. Always travelling… ;)<BR/><BR/>Rhonda,<BR/>I was sure that the carpets were going to make some impression on you! They’re wonderful!<BR/><BR/>Rakesh,<BR/>It’s lovely to find out that what one does for pleasure also brings joy to the others. Great world the blogosphere…<BR/><BR/>Jen,<BR/>I feel your African dreams increased a bit after the Tunisian posts… ;))<BR/><BR/>Angela,<BR/>OK! But don’t shop till you drop… ;)<BR/>And don’t forget the Bardo museum, probably most stunning I’ve seen in Tunisia…<BR/><BR/>Bob,<BR/>Have been seeing videos from first trip to Australia in 1992; sixteen years younger: what a shock… ;))<BR/><BR/>Lucie,<BR/>Merci! C’est vrai que les temps ne sont pas faciles, ni même pour faire un petit tour de la blogosphère. Les mois de décembre j’en ai toujours assez de travail pour un trimestre…<BR/>Un panier entier de la poterie de Fez, ça doit être magnifique !!<BR/><BR/>Hélène,<BR/>That carpet is surely the best!!<BR/><BR/>Kyh,<BR/>It’s true that you may stroll around in the medina, but unlike Istanbul, you’re not allowed inside the mosques; just at the patio!!<BR/><BR/>Eye in the sky,<BR/>Thanks. You’re too kind!<BR/>A great holiday season also for you!<BR/><BR/>Norman,<BR/>Glad that you liked it!<BR/><BR/>Joy,<BR/>For the time being I hardly have time to post, so a book would be an unforeseeable project, for the time being... ;))<BR/><BR/>Roon,<BR/>Things will improve; don’t despair... ;)<BR/><BR/>Vaggelis,<BR/>Thanks. All the best!<BR/><BR/>Lori,<BR/>You marvel at what I’ve seen; I marvel at what I haven’t seen yet... ;) Slightly different perspective... ;))<BR/><BR/>Ash,<BR/>So good to see you back! Always love your comments!<BR/><BR/>Barb,<BR/>I wonder why they were all in suits in front of the Wall’s gate... ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-57442183665573216892008-12-24T15:06:00.000+00:002008-12-24T15:06:00.000+00:00Such wonderful details on the tiles and buildings....Such wonderful details on the tiles and buildings.
