      <image:caption>In 15th-century Fez, the Sultan moved the city’s Jews to a walled area in the shadow of the palace to protect his Jewish subjects. Known as dhimmi, or “protected persons,” they were free to practice their religion. Their homes in the Jewish quarter are distinguishable by the street-facing balconies rather than the courtyard-facing balconies of the Arabs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Summer In Alaska - We quickly regrouped and left home within the week to attend our borrowed daughter’s wedding. At the age of seven, twenty-some years ago, this little girl became a constant in our house. We had a new daughter and our three children a new sibling. We shared her with her “first parents” whom had also seamlessly slid into our family. She was married in mid-June beside a swirling creek in front of the mountains and the sea, surrounded by all her loved ones. We are so very fortunate to have her and her entire family in our lives.</image:title>

      <image:caption>This 1890’s Pharmacy was opened by the grandfather of the current owner and today's pharmacist. He has preserved his mother's old notebook (the first female pharmacists in Greece in the middle of the last century) and recipes that she had created based on the Greek Pharmacology of 1924 and 1931. Chamomile, jasmine and gardenias, flowers of lemon and orange trees, and honeysuckle were used to extract the essential oils and pure olive oil to produce perfumes and soaps. Today he reproduces his mother's and grandfather's recipes.</image:caption>
