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

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!

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.

He was nice. He didn't speak much English.

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.

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

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.

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!
