Essouira Abstract

This is a post about details........all these photos were taken last week in Essouira
where we slept at the Riad alMadina. right in the middle of town.
We have stayed here off and on for the last ten years.
There were roses in both the fountains in the courtyard.



Essouira is pretty much a blue and white town and the hotel has a super terrace with both sun and shade on the roof.......



The hotel's claim to fame is that Jimi Hendrix stayed here in the late 60's or early 70's when Essouira was an exotic haven for hippies. Many people who were here then do not to have very clear recollections of their visit since they were utterly stoned all the time.All they recall is that it was wonderful.
Ah youth!
(Editorial note: I was not here then.......)



Since then the hotel, and, indeed, the whole town, has had a make-over and is most friendly and comfortable.
In fact, the whole town is a delight.



Chairs.........



a floor.........



In the town square in the late afternoon.......



And, of course, the ubiquitous door/wall combo.......
