We are enjoying the last of our day and a half visit to Essouira. It's a beach resort town and used to be popular with the hippie crowd. The atmosphere is so much more relaxed here and for the first time we felt comfortable browsing the shops in the Medina without being hassled to our wits end. We are taking advantage of the time to relax and gain our strength for the next portion of our trip. After today we make our way across the Sahara desert and into Mauritania over the course of 6 days. There's going to be lots of sun, sand, and digging (digging out the truck when we get stuck).

This is the market where the fishermen bring their day's catch to be gutted and sold.
