Transcript

This is day two in Isawira. If you ask me where I'd rather be living, I'd definitely say Morocco. Everywhere I went on that trip, people were dancing, singing, and just present. I've always had an affinity for Sufi music. It meets me somewhere quiet. No a festival isn't a concert. It's as if the whole city turns into a ceremony. The experience of that oneness with everyone is very special. If you're alive and curious, come tier Sawida in June. Oh, they're so big on the fruit juices. Mainly, which I happen to adore. And, yeah, randomly on the street, this guy was walking with his potential dinner.
