This morning we explored more of Marrakech and its fabulous old medina (market). The medina is a maze of dried fruit and spice stalls, Berber rug vendors, and leather and ironworkers’ shops. I had a chance to experience a glimpse of daily life as I strolled the narrow streets. I saw veiled women buying fruits, vegetables, meat and spices for their next meal, young boys taking their family’s bread to the community bakery and children playing in the streets. Most of the people did NOT want their photo taken. We also went to an apothecary where they sold spices, and natural oils and creams for the skin. After a nice presentation we were able to buy the products. We had lunch in a restaurant that used to be a palace. It was absolutely gorgeous. The afternoon was free to relax at our beautiful hotel that has a lovely pool. Tonight we have a second photo critique and dinner in the hotel.
