Awesome!
I just loved the snakes!
Snake Charmer
We got a lot of photos of the snake charmer. I was hoping he would be on the ground with the cobra, like in the movies, but he put the snake on his face. Still cool.
Cobra
I really wanted a photo of the snake charmer with a cobra. We settled on $2 and he immediately tried to put the cobra on Bill's shoulders! YIKES! Bill accused me of trying to kill him for $2. Hee!
Baby snakes
As soon as we walked up he put two small snakes around my neck. They were just babies.
Snakes!
The main thing I wanted to see...a snake charmer!
Jemaa el-Fnaa
Coming up on the square! At Jemaa el-Fnaa you can buy fruit, nuts, water, leather goods, and black market phones. It also has story tellers, fortune tellers, magicians, mokeys and snake charmers. There is everything here!
Horse and buggies
Lots of horses and buggies for hire. If they can't take us off of the square, we can't hire them.
Medina of Marrakesh
We finally got to the part Bill and I were looking forward to. This was why we picked the Marrakesh excursion. As soon as the bus stopped, our tour guide said to be carefulout there! As soon as we step off the bus we'll be a target. People WILL try to steal our wallets, our cameras, anything we have. Do NOT leave the square. Some people followed a local off the square and it didn't end well. We wary of everyone. Then he said we're supposed to be there for 20 minutes but as a treat he's going to give us 40 minutes. Have fun! Yeah. That set a good tone!
Pigeon holes
I'm not sure what the holes were meant for but the pigeons were living in them.
Sales pitch
He had a good sales pitch and Morocco is where Argon oil is from so they had good, cheap Argon oil products!
Herbalism Shop
A lot of these tours include a stop at a rug shop or perfume stop. The tour guide usually gets a kickback. This one was at an herbal pharmacy. It was interesting.
Yum!
It looked so good but we couldn't stop.
Back on the street
Walking to our next stop.
Cool tree!
It was like a bonsai tree.
Sleeping man
I thought I lucked out and got a photo of this arch all to myself. Well, there was a man asleep over there but, I was quiet and I got the shot all to myself.
Altar
It looks like there should be an altar in this space.
Door close-up
There was nothing around to tell us which member of the family was buried in which tomb. We all just wandered around taking pictures.
