We went back to Rabia Qdima for breakfast that last morning in Marrakesh.

\nFirst, we were too early, so we started in a different cafe that wiped off a table for us and brought us tea.

\nWe just loved watching the conversations, and the ongoing creation and commerce:

\nOn the way out, a herborist wanted to show Jeremy a little chameleon. \u00a0Jem didn’t want to hold it, so I did.
\n\"P1020922\"<\/a>

\nWe had to pass through a small village in the gathering dusk, and they had been busy digging up the road to lay pipe through it. \u00a0It took a welcoming committee of about ten to help us get the car over, but finally, about 10 hours after leaving Marrakesh (and after a too-close encounter with a grand taxi that took out the wing mirror on the car) we had arrived.
