Mint Tea, Donkeys, Snake Charmers, Oh My!

Flights to Morocco were all on schedule so we made it here about 1:00 PM Morocco time. While the time is only 5 hours different, the culture difference is unbelievable. We walked to the main square in the medina, Jemaa El Fna.

Things are kind of quiet during the day because it is Ramadan, but there is still plenty to see, but it is really suppose to heat up at night. We will check that tomorrow night after we get a good nights sleep. So far we feel very safe, except for the bikes, mopeds and cars. We thought China was bad last year, this is utter chaos. We just have to learn how to dodge. The least dangerous are the donkey carts.

Mint tea appears to be the national drink. Doesn't taste too bad, but looks rather interesting.

There is every conceivable type of clothing. Lots of colorsand styles and all very interesting!

Probably the most interesting was the snake charmers. They are primariy there for the tourists and we learned a valuable lesson: Ask BEFORE you take the picture how much is is going to be. Was worth it, is not too often you see cobras, rattlesnakes and Jenni wearing a snake. (Fortunately that one wasn't poisonous.)

Having diffulty with the blogging tool. Had to do it twice. bummer.... time for bed!
