As for the guide, he found us! He saw us driving into the center of Taroundant and directed us to a parking lot and -voila- there he was, waiting for us at the parking lot, happy to be our guide. He guided us through the city but also into stores where he had a relationship with the owener. So, he got some of the profits of what we bought. It reminded me a lot of India. Have you experienced anything like that? They see you are a tourist and want to make money off of you. I don't know how to hire a "proper" guide. I'm sure he would do the same thing in the stores, though.katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024345906273810543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593772661578446066.post-38585948801204579592011-01-24T13:03:12.565-08:002011-01-24T13:03:12.565-08:00I really like "staying connected" throug...I really like "staying connected" through your blog so I hope you don't stop.

Sometimes I say I blog for me, so it doesnt matter if noone reads or leaves comments... but secretly ofcourse I blog for others so its nice to recieve feedback.<br /><br />If it becomes a chore than you sometimes we tell yourself its not worth it, but it is. Keep pressing forward... I love the (free) creative outlet that blogging is... <br /><br /><br />However I would understand if you wanted to stop. If you want to do some good in the 'real world' maybe limit your blogging to once a week, or certain time of the day and keep it simple to open up your time to do good elsewhere too.. but do know you are doing good here too!!This Girl loves to Talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810963456640254875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-593772661578446066.post-1670533667820506722011-01-21T04:41:41.573-08:002011-01-21T04:41:41.573-08:00Keep blogging!!!!
