beautiful. This morning Elena and I took ourselves for a stroll. We
walked to the Place Jamaa Fna (I think that's what it's called). It is
at the southern end of the souk and filled with carts selling produce.
As we were walking through a woman, Fatima, came up to me and
attempted to sell her henna design services. I kept telling her 'no,
thank you' and she showed me where we would be if I changed my mind. I
thought I had successfully put her off, but then she grabbed my hand
and squirted a blob of henna on it!! Her grip was firm and I had to
tug my hand away while yelling, 'no, no, no!! S'il vous plait, non!!!'
Not quite as bad as being peed on by a dog, but I don't have the
energy today to fend off too many more attacks by henna. We strolled a
bit more and then decided to get some mint tea. On the way to the
salon de the we were offered a monkey! He has no tail and that makes
me sad. Off to the hammam this afternoon.
