(afternoon)
We are in Marrakech ad ready to explore its medina, the Bahia palace and the Saadian tombs and admire the funerary architecture. We admire, at the Saadian tombs the Islamic architecture reminiscent of Alhambra, the fountains and gardens surrounding the Bahia palace and wish for more time to spend here; these are not sights to be seen in a hurry. They call for slow, leisurely walks and contemplation.

We also walk through the maze of the souk streets with its display of everything. The large hulks of beef are on display as usual. I try to avoid looking at them (as usual) but our guide insists to show us a piece of meat of major importance.
"This round ball is the male organ of the ox", " it indicates a higher quality meat."
There will be more vegetarian choices for dinner that night.
