A Few Funnies from Essaouira

First, although we had showers in our hotel rooms, there were not windows to the outside world, only windows that opened into the common area in the center of the hotel. Also, the exhaust fans didn’t work. There was a rather pesky and disturbing musty smell to most things in the hotel room. Our third night in the hotel, we had larger rooms with windows that opened to the outside world and working bathroom fans. Much improved!

Also, after dinner on Tuesday evening, Annie and I heard our favorite call. Shop keepers will forever call to you in an effort to have you come into their store and shop. They will tell you you are beautiful, they will give you a good price, ask you not to walk away, but what we heard Tuesday was the best.

As we walked down a street toward the main square, we heard a shop keeper behind us, “Hey! Wait! Lady, you left something! You left something! Hey! You left something! You left me!” At this last call, Annie and I doubled over giggling. By far the best line we heard all vacation. Holidays are wonderful.

These are the stories of my October holiday, soon you will learn of the rest of the adventures from the rest of October.

Didn't we get some call about "Fish and Chips" or "Spice Girls"? There were so many good ones over the vacation! :)

Hey, I talked to Uncle Bob on Saturday and he sounds good; actually better than he has in ages. It was great to hear his voice so strong.
