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!

Soccer team

When we went to the Bahia Palace we passed a big group of guys coming out and they were all wearing red and blue. some people around us were REALLY excited to see them. It didn't even occur to me that they were a soccer team untilour tour guide told us the World Cup was in town. I was bummed we didn't get pictures but then we saw them again, walking in to the Medina of Marrakesh! People were stopping them and taking pictures.

Horse and buggies

Lots of horses and buggies for hire. If they can't take us off of the square, we can't hire them.

Medina of Marrakesh

We finally got to the part Bill and I were looking forward to. This was why we picked the Marrakesh excursion. As soon as the bus stopped, our tour guide said to be carefulout there! As soon as we step off the bus we'll be a target. People WILL try to steal our wallets, our cameras, anything we have. Do NOT leave the square. Some people followed a local off the square and it didn't end well. We wary of everyone. Then he said we're supposed to be there for 20 minutes but as a treat he's going to give us 40 minutes. Have fun! Yeah. That set a good tone!

Herbalism Shop

A lot of these tours include a stop at a rug shop or perfume stop. The tour guide usually gets a kickback. This one was at an herbal pharmacy. It was interesting.

Sleeping man

I thought I lucked out and got a photo of this arch all to myself. Well, there was a man asleep over there but, I was quiet and I got the shot all to myself.

Door close-up

There was nothing around to tell us which member of the family was buried in which tomb. We all just wandered around taking pictures.
