Barb’s Race is the only women’s half Ironman triathlon in the world…

Culinary tourism is exploding. But who wants to spend their entire vacation eating? Certainly not me. But neither do I want my vacation to be a boot camp. Well, it turns out The New York Times’ 2009 Culinary Destination of the Year, Marrakech, in the shadow of the High Atlas Mountains, is the perfect middling ground…
