Marrakech Day 1 - The Markets

In Marrakech we found the back streets of the medina and markets a little better labeled and were more able to find our way around on our own. What a sense of freedom to be able to leave our hotel without feeling we'd never be found again! Actually we were a bit outside of the medina and needed to take a taxi into the medina if we weren't going there with the group--which we did a couple times,   with one time that will be a rich source of storytelling for Phil as one of the more harrowing rides we've had.

Here are some picture of the narrow streets and shops in the medina.

Here was an adventurous part of one walk--getting past this street repair. That's one of our tour leaders in the straw hat getting ready to walk the plank.
