One Afternoon in the Medina

The guide books will say maze of narrow streets and assault on your senses and half the fun is in getting lost! When I was good and ready, I entered by the top gate

 

and, no problem, found the Kasbah (now a museum), formerly owned and operated by the pre-Romans, the Romans, the post-Romans, and the Portuguese, with its lovely central courtyard

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the sultan's garden, now a little run down, out back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All I had to do after that was keep heading lower

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

maybe with a side trip here and there

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and I'd make it to the Petit Socco for mint tea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the end (admittedly a difficult concept in the medina), all I got lost in was taking pictures of cats (not just tolerated but revered creatures here, apparently, unlike in doggy Andalusia).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just lucky, I guess.
