Casablanca — Casablanca

Before we got to the ship we drove through Casablanca and took a little tour in the dark.

Open late — Open late

I'm sure the place closed as soon as we left. It wasn't a gas station. They only stopped for us to shop.

Fossils — Fossils

There was a store selling "fossils" there. Curiously, all the fossils looked almost exactly alike. We think they were made of concrete. One guy said he would trade a big "fossil" for Bill's sunglasses. I told him he should have taken the deal. Bill didn't want to carry it.

Cat! — Cat!

We stopped at an out-of-the-way set of shops on the way back. We think another kickback for our tour guide. We got some drinks and, of course, all the shops were open. There were a bunch of cats in the snack shop.

Sales — 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 — 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 — Unhappy monkey

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

Monkeys — Monkeys

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

More snakes — 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.

Fruit and nuts — 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.

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

Souk El Jadid — 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 — 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.
