Anyone and everyone that's been to Morocco knows that it is a country famous for it markets, also called souks. Marrakech is known to have one of the biggest souks in all of Morocco, where you can find anything from jewelry to leather products, clothing, hand crafted decor, food, herbs and spices, and fabrics. Having visited the souks throughout our trip to morocco, we realized that bargaining is a big part of shopping here. Every salesman will ask for a ridiculous, outlandish price and you should always pay at least 75% less than what they're asking. Having mastered this theory, Anya and myself spent the whole day shopping at the souks bargaining like it was our day job. We had mastered the trade to the point where even some of the local salesman would compliment us on our skill. We were able to find some gems throughout the day and had lunch at a quiet spot that served fantastic food. We headed back to the hostel to rest and had dinner with Mohammed, one of the hostel staff. Classic Moroccan soup and mint tea, a perfect meal to balance out our long day. The evening didn't end there. We later went to the main square to pick up some snacks for tomorrow's excursion and while we were there, we visited our favourite kittens who are looked after by a kind local. Five little beauties who we've become quite attached to, spend most of their day prancing around and playing with their mama. I can only hope that these little guys continue to live a happy life, even if its on the busy streets of Marrakech. We've thought of a million ways to bring them back home and if I could, I would without a doubt adopt them all and be a crazy cat lady.
We love our fresh OJ
