After our mighty lamb lunch we toured the Bahia Palace - an enormous moorish complex with gadzillions of rooms and courtyards and flowers, etc. It was lovely.

We finished our second day in Marrakesh with a hearty meal of sausages, pastilla, and grilled veggies at several different food carts on Jemaa Al-Fnaa. I had this idea that we would enter the tangle of carts pushed together to form a kind of outdoor cafeteria and peruse several menus before prudently selecting the best looking dishes with the best prices. No dice. We entered through one of the main entrances and were immediately swarmed by pushy men shoving menus in our face. We got about three carts in before we relented and sat down on the edge of one of the metal tables. But we were not disappointed. The square is amazing and Max only almost got in a fight once when a younger menu hawking soup seller grabbed me by the arm. What can you do?

| Snail Soup. It's actually on our list of things to try, but not in July. |

We finished the evening with ice cream and flan at the Andalusia Cafe overlooking the square. I read that it is the largest square in Africa and that doesn't surprise me.
