My Morocco!

Marrakesh is a shopping paradise. The most beautiful handmade art, objects, gorgeous textiles, jewelry. I'd found heaven for sale. And my friend Brandon had said pack your suitcase full of anything American to use as barter -toothpaste, toothbrushes, candy bars, American t-shirts from a thrift store.

Fortunately all the Halloween candy was on sale here so we filled our suitcases with chocolate and geared ourselves for Olympic-level Barter & Haggling.





With all shops, there's a tourist price and a price they give to those they respect (about 30 to 50 percent less). We fought tooth and nail for the respectable price and always closed the sale with a handful of candy bars and a warm smile.
