Pre-trip post-trip-delay-day-with-no-plans win at cards! I knew there was a reason my schedule was delayed. Not to mention the impromptu opportunity to enjoy delicious homegrown heirloom tomato salad. Thank you neighbor Heather! xoxo - Susanne
Why thank God for Mohamed the guide?
Okay, so, w/o Mohamed we would have a) gotten terribly lost in a maze of souks, not to emerge again until next week or even a month from now b) paid double or more for anything we bought c) ate icky cookies instead of yummy ones d) taken 2-4-10 x as long to get to any of the tourist sights, especially those walking distance away e) been relentlessly hounded by shop salesmen and f) wandered into all the wrong stores just because the names were written in English a.k.a. tourist traps g) gotten run over by a bike/moped/donkey/car/pushcart and h) well, I could go on and on. Anyway, after Mohamed's 2-day crash course in negotiating the medina I think the 4 of us will enjoy a navigational adventure to the gardens tomorrow and visit to the hammam, nap, maybe some henna and then a nice dinner, or whatever the day brings us.
