Marrakech; first impressions

First impressions of Marrakech:

1. French arabic keyboard is going to make blogging difficult.
2. The food here is awesome. Fresh OJ for 30 cents. Havent had a meal yet, but looking forward to every one. Too bad for Alia everything looks like it is coated in nuts.
3. The massive covered market is much more pedestrian friendly than African markets.
4. Exotic animals spotted: zebra skin, leopard skin!!, turtles, alligator skin.
5. It is going to be hard not to buy a lot of souvenirs.

Things are going to be cheaper, only 65 dirham to sleep on the roof; breakfast included. The next two weeks are going to be wonderful, I think I will have to try every imaginable sweet I see.

But my legs and belly are going to be jelly when I get home.

have fun, jealous of the food situation. You can get some damn good Moroccan here in the bay, but you pay for it.

Anyway, enjoy the sunshine and be ready to kick some ass when you get back.
