Day 157: Essaouria’s medina

Essaouira’s medina is pretty similar to the medina in Rabat. It’s nice, but it lacks the charm that the medina in Fes is so full of. Also, we began our day with possibly the worst breakfast we’ve had in all of the nearly six months we’ve been traveling. So… that certainly didn’t help matters. But after walking around the medina, we settled in for some soup and internet at a really lovely cafe on the edge of town, almost towards the port area. It made up for breakfast. As did being able to snap this picture of a man wearing a jalaba. Most Moroccan men wear these. It’s pretty much like being in a Star Wars movie when they walk around with them on.

When we got back to our couchsurfers’ place, another surfer had arrived for the evening and had just finished preparing dinner for us all! They all obliged me with my self timer during dinner.
