Marrakesh for an hour... of course I will find a rug store in the desert! Soukie Modern has original moroccan rugs and more. The owner was born in a Berber village in the mountains in Morocco and lives with his wife in Palm Springs CA. He told me Palm Springs is on the same latitude as Morocco and has a similar climate, so he likes it here a lot. We talked about nomadic tribes and American lifestyle. He's an exotic export (immigrant =)) like myself, so it's interesting to exchange experiences. |
