hump - I forget the name). She is watching it pee in this photo. I did
not ride one because I wore a dress today. And it was fun to watch her
hold on!!
For the past two days we have been led around Marrakesh by Jalil, our
very sweet guide. I think he liked us because he took to saying,
'okay, family, let's go'. He took us to the Bahia Palace (former
residence of a prime minister) where we saw painted ceilings, amazing
tile work and the typical (but no less resplendent) carved plaster
archways. He also explained the intricacies of polygamy in the
Moroccan culture. Not to be taken on lightly.
Jalil also took us into the souk - an intricate winding network of
workshops, galleries, restaurants and shops. We found some small
things and some bigger things that are hopefully already on their
long, slow trek to Brooklyn. It was fun to see, but exhausting!
Bargaining is hard work.
Tomorrow we take the train to Fes. It will take up to 8 hours but we
look forward to watching the landscape change as we read and play
cards (we even bought an Uno deck and have become quite competitive!).
And it is air conditioned!!!
