The Night Market




The Djeema el Fna is Africa's largest outdoor market. It is crazy. People come in from all over the country and the world to trade their goods and attend a fair-like carnival that occurs every evening 365 days per year. There are storytellers, snake charmers, monkey handlers, henna artists and food vendors. It is fun being in a market that is not overly touristy. This is a local market with far more Moroccans than any other ethnicity. Jennifer and I enjoyed some fresh squeezed orange juice ($0.30 per glass) and delicious spiced tea. During the day Jennifer spent her time negotiating for various leather goods in the market. Google and Haas have trained her well as she is an excellent negotiator. One man called her a Berber woman which we don't actually know what that means but we are assuming it means shrewd negotiator. She regularly negotiated the lowest prices... Chris Harris eat your heart out.
