After losing three days of travelling to\u00a0Marrakesh from Southern Argentina\u00a0and an exhausting 14- hour trip over the Atlas Mountains yesterday, we decided it was time for a rest before we hit the ground running in Portugal. \u00a0We are flying to Madrid tomorrow, then Lisbon. Over the lasts few days, Lesley actually wore a light ski jacket and vest in Morocco however, today it was sunny and in the 70’s. \u00a0It was a perfect day to have Easter brunch on the patio at the hotel. \u00a0We then lounged around the beautiful hotel pools, digging into our books. \u00a0We also spent a couple of hours wandering aimlessly in the souks of the Medina. \u00a0Almost all the specific shops offer the same items; and it actually became boring perusing the shops one more time. We were quite proud of ourselves for not getting lost within the labyrinth of shops. \u00a0David figured out that if we always walked toward the sun, we would not get lost and he was correct in his assumption.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The concierge arranged to have a well-known Moroccan restaurant pick us up for dinner. \u00a0As we sat down, the rolled up prix-fixed menu starred us in the face. \u00a0Because we are eating out every meal, we try not to “over-indulge” on any single meal. \u00a0We asked for a regular menu which the waiter begrugingly handed to us. \u00a0He was in total “amazement” and “disbelief” that would could possibly go without an appetizer or dessert. \u00a0Interestingly, we watched everyone come into the restaurant, sit down and assume that the lengthy, prix-fixed menu was the only thing available. \u00a0Unfortunately, this pricey dinner was mediocre at best; however, the belly dancer with lit candles on her head was the highlight of the evening.<\/div>\n
