Marrakech and environs




Ok, so I have kinda lost track of time/dates etc... It has been a whirlwind of activity the last 7 days and am behind on postings... So last week we went to Marrakech.


Walked to a mosque in the AM one day, non Muslims aren't allowed inside. Can't find the picture at the moment, so you can use your imagination!

Let's take a short tour of the medina, shall we?

First is an blacksmith making a iron screen, Note that that screens behind him are not soldered or welded but held together with tabs. We'll see more of that up close on the Ouarzazte kasbah post.

Next, we have what I like to call the rainbow. Scarves and a handpainted table.

A man making handmade string instruments.



Recently dyed yarn drying before being used to make rugs.



I have MANY more pics of the medinas we have visited and will try to post them in short order.
