We were literally a block away so we stopped at a souvenir shop and walked back to the hotel.

Bill is always lagging way behind the tour group because he's taking so many pictures. I try to make sure we don't leave him behind!

Coming up on the square! At Jemaa el-Fnaa you can buy fruit, nuts, water, leather goods, and black market phones. It also has story tellers, fortune tellers, magicians, mokeys and snake charmers. There is everything here!

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.

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!

Just like our tour guide said, we had to duck out of the way when veiled ladies tried to put necklaces on us. We also were walking in the street, just like everyone else so we had to watch out for cars and mopeds. A nice old woman was walking next to me for a while until she stuck her hand out, looking for money. She walked with us for a while until she got the hint.
