Rock the Casbah – Marrekech addendum

I feel that we would be remiss if we did not share a bit more of the sights and sounds of Marrakech, especially after experiencing what we have come to think of as quintessential Morocco. Tonight in the vast town square, where Moroccans as well as tourists
gather, we watched snake charmers entrance cobras, barbary apes dance to traditional folk music and thick, gray smoke rise from portable grills filled
with meats and fish. We also witnessed a major accident in the souk – a cyclist ran over a woman carrying a small child. Motorbikes and bicyclists piled up on top of one another, traffic came to a
standstill and absolute mayhem ensued. On a quieter note, we later sipped sweet, hot, mint tea and listened to the eerie sound of the muezzin calling the faithful to prayer. The ubiquitous stray cats played at our feet, begging for scraps and providing almost as much entertainment as the performances in the street.

Until the next exciting town . . .
