In the Souks with Zaki/Feb 2013



In the spice market there are all sorts of delights


like snails


and chameleons.


And foxes drawn high up on the wall.


A young arm with a chameleon....


then we follow our leader


to find rosebuds


and spices of all sorts


and dingly things to wrap round napkins


and my absolute favorite --the tiles.

Back in Town --Briefly


Some things change --but much stays the same....


but the cats are certainly in the leather goods shop


and the spice market


where the lizard and the tortoises live too.


A big and wonderful change  --no bikes and mopeds in most of the souks!
Bliss.


There are notices to prove it.


But you still have to cart things around one way or another --by cart


by bike and so on.


The oranges are extra wonderful this year.


And last a cat in the slippers.

It's good to be back in Marrakesh after an absence.
