Hey friends! Hope all is well. Do we have anything for our group in the
remaining part of today? I feel like resting early in the day. I thought I
could physically meet some of you who are in Marrakech are busy
participating. After the meeting in Diamant room I'm planning to go direct
to the hotel called Eddakhla at old town big square that is where I slept
yesterday.
