I went out alone before dinner yesterday, to look at the craft area of the souk, and got caught by one of the "guides" (there are very few here compared to the bigger cities) and taken to a rug merchant. I decided to go along with it for awhile, but then got a bit stressed when it was clear the rug merchant knew my hotel. I was afraid he'd show up here! (He didn't and I didn't buy anything...)
We arrived "home" last night after diiner to find the hotel staff sitting in the passageway outside the riad, and they invited us to have tea and sit with them. Pretty soon most of the guests had wandered home and joined us!
Today we took a shared taxi to the seaside town of Martil, 10 kilometers away, to sit on the beach and to have fish lunch. Accomplished both...
It will be hard to go back to the Euro zone tomorrow...great coffee and French pastries for two here: $4.25...3 course dinners are about $12....and I will miss the bustle of the Medinas...
This afternoon we wandered some more, bought some stuff, got locked inside the Archeological Museum garden,
Sitting outside in the Medina...
Drinking mint tea and chatting at 11:00pm...and said goodbye to Moroccan nights, with streets full of people selling stuff and people buying.
We've already been talking about "next time" in Morocco....
