Paradise Valley

The weather here is too perfect to stay indoors, so we made the 40 minute trip on Saturday to a place called Paradise Valley.

Paradise Valley is up in the mountains and once you get to the entrance you have about a 30 minute walk/hike to get to the small waterfalls and diving pools. Apparently, back in the day, a sick German couple went up there and stayed for 6 months and went back to Germany completely cured so they told everyone that this place had mystical healing powers and it was paradise so that is how it got its name!




Don't be fooled, that dog is not Ender. She was just a local dog who followed us around for part of the day.





Lily looooves water. All she wanted to do was get in this water and play, but it was freezing cold. We had to restrain her most of the day.




On our walk back to the car we stopped to have a some moroccan tea and a snack.




We were way past nap time at this point so Lily took a quick snooze in her carrier while I huffed and puffed back up the mountain.

Sunday we walked from our house to the beach and then walked up the boardwalk for about 2 miles before we let Lily out to play in the sand. Then we hit up the Mcdonald's for lunch and the ice creme stand for a little treat.

Lily has been the sweetest little angel the past few weeks. She has always been really happy and good natured, but she is really putting on the charm and melting us these days!

We are all still enjoying life here in Morocco. Technology has made this so much easier on us. We FaceTime with my dad every night before bed and with Danny's parents pretty frequently as well. We have even face timed with our grandmas which is awesome. I still get to text with my girlfriends throughout the day also, so it makes it seem like we aren't that far away! It also helps that we will be back in Texas for a visit in less than 2 months! You better believe I am already making a list of places we need to eat and things we need to do. I have also gone a little crazy with the online shopping and my inlaws said I have a pile of packages at their house about 2 feet wide by 3 feet tall so it is going to be like Christmas when we get home!
