Although simple in overall design, the elaborate carvings and details in the facade are unique and spectacular. We couldn't go inside (women are excluded) but did enjoy the beauty of the architecture.

Snake Charmer
Tuesday, December 23, 2008
Last night it was the camel driver so tonight I had to share the snake charmer. He loved being photographed and always posed for the camera.

Have Some Garlic
Sunday, December 21, 2008
A fellow artist and dear friend, who also has a blog, posted some garlic last night on his site. But I thought, "wait until he sees the picture I took in Agadir last year at the Souk Souk (big bazaar)". So here it is. And this was only a portion of the garlic the vendor had for sale.

Agadir Tent
Monday, December 15, 2008
It was the holiday season when we were in Agadir last year and I thought this tent was appropriately decked out in Christmas colors. As we watched the horsemen perform their charge and the snake charmer do his thing, I was reminded how wonderful it was being able to visit the different cultures of the world.

Shopping, Agadir Style
Wednesday, August 20, 2008
I love to travel. It's exciting to see new sights and experience new cultures. Last year I had a chance to visit Morocco and sample the exotic happenings in that country. My itinerary was supposed to include Casablanca and Tangier, but due to some unrest we had to settle for Agadir on the Atlantic coast. Morocco is an arid country (not unlike the area where I live) so I saw many similarities. But the Souks (markets) in this area are a delight to the senses. Souk souk (yes, you say it twice for the bigger markets) is like a supermarket in our country, but they aren't in a nice, fancy, air conditioned building. Most are partially open air not unlike our flea markets. And be prepared to bargain. It must be a national pastime. I took this shot at the old fort overlooking the port. It was hard not to buy something, so, I bought and even got a bracelet and key chain thrown in on the deal.
