souks and shopping




something else we did yesterday was walk more around the souks. it was interesting, of course. i don't remember how this started, but someone invited us to see a shop, and it was really incredible and amazing, and like a museum. then someone there invited us to follow him down somewhere and we followed and followed and ended up in another crazy museum-like shop. one had tons of antiquey furniture, and another had clothes, and then shoes, and then all kinds of stuff. some of the places had amazing detailed architecture and they were just amazing. old huge inlaid doors with wood and marble... all kinds of crazy stuff. we were somewhere in the souk and people always are/were calling out to us and saying bonjour or whatever, trying to get us to start talking to them and go in their shop. josh said at some point that he's tired, or his eyes are tired, and that made the person laugh. we see cats everywhere, wandering the streets and today josh saw one with a freshly caught mouse in its mouth. we saw someone yestrerday carving wood with his feet in some interesting fancy method. tomorrow we're going to fez and we have to figure out how to get there and where we'll stay, so i'm gonna do some of that research right now.
