Today really went and made a liar out of me.I had a really good day. I slept in and then went out to find a net café. I then decided to follow some other tourists who were being led around by some random Moroccan. He led them all the way to the Souks, which were truly a sight to see. I also went to see the wool being dyed and stood under the lengths of thread being dried in the sun. The exotic pet shops fascinated me the most.Just about everyman and his dog...
