Saturday, September 15, 2018 ~ Marrakech

Today was a free day to explore.  We spent some time in the historical Berber Museum and the lush gardens where the Yves St. Laurent Memorial is.

This tree was my favorite spot in the garden.

Paul and I sat on a bench to enjoy the peaceful surroundings after we had walked through the gardens.

We walked through the narrow streets (wide enough for only four people to walk side by side) in the artisan section of the market.  We had to be especially careful of the small motorcycles that zipped through the walkways.  Shopkeepers displayed items  outside the store to entice people to walk inside.

In one section we saw many men doing metalwork with arc welders, hammers, anvils, and other tools.

There were sections of wood, basketry, leather, jewelry, lamps, and clothing to name a few.

Fancy restaurant where we ate our farewell dinner.  Eleven of us are going on the post trip and five are going home.
