Marrakech, Morocco

This man gave us a tour of Marrakech--particularly of the souq, which is a collection of small shops that will be described in the next post.

The city of Marrakech from our hotel. Note the palm trees, the distant Atlas Mountains, and the color of the buildings. Almost every building in Morocco is this color. I call it "the national color." It comes from building earthen walls, of course, but even where buildings are built of concrete blocks, they're soon painted this color.
