Meeting Arjen in Marrakesh
Sunday, May 18th, 2008
Arjen flew in for some excellent days. The only disadvantage of Marrakesh is the presence of tourists, yet these also bring in some tourist/expat oriented facilities. Like Pacha Marrakesh, the largest disco to be found in Africa (beer priced at a reasonable $21), and luxurious restaurants like Bo & Sin and Le Foundouk, all of which we enjoyed quite a bit.
The Good Life.
Eating at Djemaa el-Fna is a happening, the magical square of Marrakesh.
Ali ben Yussef Medersa.
Marjo and Lise. Dutch culturally interested (!?) party-girls.
Dining right in front of the Koutoubia Mosque.
Colors, colors, colors.
A bakery: women collecting the baked bread.
Koutoubia Mosque with panels showing developments in early Islamic art.
Daytrip to Imlil.
