Relaxing at the Tichka Hotel in Marrakech
This is an apartment building that we passed while leaving Marrakech today. We took this picture because of all the satellite dishes (the white circles) on the building - it's in a very poor area of town, but everyone's still got their dish...
This van is carrying sheep to be sold at the local market
A cement factory that we passed today. This is the only industrial facility that we've seen in Morocco.
The desert landscape on our drive west to Essaouira from Marrakech
Some desert homes that we passed today
A small berber village and market that we passed on the road
Approaching a village on the road - we saw several of these today
We shared the road with several donkeys today
The Medina at Essaouira (there are several gates that lead into the walls)
The chocolate brown water and beach in Essaouira. Our hotel is the brown building on the beach.
These are all scenes in the fishing port at Essaouira
Negotiating the purchase of some freshly caught fish... (what are those long things called?)
The lady in the middle has a baby on her back and wrapped in the blanket - this is how children are often carried by their mothers
The pedestrianized streets of Essaouira's Medina (note the gate in the far background)
Children leaving school at the end of the day
Everything in Essaouira is in blue and white - quite a difference from the clay color in Marrakech
