Sales

The problem with standing still to wait for the bus is, anyone who was selling anything came by: art, people tried to put necklaces and scarves on us, belts, they had counterfeit iPhones, they were delling anything you could think of and they tried to get it in your hand or around your neck.

Back early

Most people came back before the 40 minutes were up. The bus wasn't there so we waited by the wall. That's our tour guide Najit in the black robe.

Unhappy monkey

The monkeys didn't seem very happy. They were on chains and I felt sorry for the one in the dress.

Monkeys

We made it around to the corner with the monkeys. There was even a monkey in a pink dress.

More snakes

We took a secret picture of some different guys with snakes so they wouldn't charge us. These guys had a drum and I think a snake charmer horn like you see in the movies.

Food stall

Steam and probably smoke coming from a food stall. They started cooking for the night.

Fruit and nuts

There were a lot of orange juice stands all around the square. The nuts looked good but we didn't buy anything. We just walked around and checked everything out.

Locals and tourists

This is the main square of Marrakesh. It's used both by locals and tourists.

Souk El Jadid

A "souk" is an open-air market or bazaar. Each souk sells different wares such as spices, leather goods, etc. This souk sells traditional artisian products (lamps, leather goods, clothing) and has restaurants.

Argana Restaurant

On the second story in 2011 there was a bombing at the Argana cafe. It's all fixed now and it's the Argana Restaurant. I didn't feel unsafe except for the obvious pickpockets that followed us for a while but a quick change of direction got them off of our trail.

Snake Charmer

We got a lot of photos of the snake charmer. I was hoping he would be on the ground with the cobra, like in the movies, but he put the snake on his face. Still cool.

Cobra

I really wanted a photo of the snake charmer with a cobra. We settled on $2 and he immediately tried to put the cobra on Bill's shoulders! YIKES! Bill accused me of trying to kill him for $2. Hee!

Baby snakes

As soon as we walked up he put two small snakes around my neck. They were just babies.
