We made it to Marrakech

After getting to Morocco we checked into a special type of hotel called a Riad, based on a suggestion from Sanaa. Riad's are traditional Arabic homes that are built around an inner-courtyard and are frequently decorated with ornate and beautiful designs and patterns, we decided to stay at the “Riad Dar Al Kounouz”. The Riad was great, it was beautiful, had great service and an amazing location in the heart of the old Medina.


After checking in we spent most of the day wandering around the Medina and visiting the main square of the city called Djemaa El-Fna. This square was quite cool as it is a jumble of everything from food vendors, to snake charmers, to traditional story-tellers, to acrobats all at the same time. A very unique place to say the least.





Since Andrea was only in country for two nights we decided to splurge and went to one of the fanciest restaurants in the city for dinner. The food was quite good, the building and ambiance was amazing and the traditional live music in the background just added to the atmosphere.
