Day 118 Shopping the Medina....errr.. taking pictures....actually just a little stroll....

Tired, sick and a little frightened we set out to see the Medina. The medina was what made me want to come to Morocco. When you read about the charms and interesting findings in the alley ways and squares how could you not. I demand a refund. I think that Lonely Planet owes us money and time for the lack of charm the Medina had. Now I know that you have to take situations as they come but really Morocco.

We went to lunch with little excitement other than it was 90 or so degrees out. Jamie and I then started to stroll around the Medina. The catch in Marrakesh was that we couldn't really take pictures. People wanted our money and maybe we just picked some bad areas but it was too hard with motorbikes trying to run you over and vendors yelling at you. So we put away the cameras and strolled for a bit before heading back to play cards and such. So much for Morocco.....

Stop, Have a good day?, Would you like to buy a llama???? A lot of writing for what I thought should be a don't ride your motorbike in the medina and try to run over tourists....

At night while waiting for our food this little kitten came to sit on our table and keep us company. However, since the table next to ours had gotten their food we were only bffs for like ten minutes.
