Tuesday was a pretty calm day after the hectic schedule earlier. Kamal picked us up at 11:00am to go look at the Majorelle Gardens. Originally built and created by the French artist Jacques Marjorelle from 1923, it was bought and restored by Yves St. Laurent in the 1980s. St. Laurent lived there for many years. Today, the villa houses the Berber Museum and the Yves St. Laurent (Art) Museum is nearby.

The garden itself is quite large, and was quite crowded during our visit. In fact, the queue to get into the Berber Museum was long enough that we skipped it. But we had a good time walking around the gardens and seeing the exotic plants and the exterior of the villa.

Lunch was back at the Amanjena, and then we hung out at our suite all afternoon.

The evening activity was to go back to the Medina and walk around sampling snacks and foods. While the Medina is busy during the day, the main square by the entrance becomes a madhouse in the evening. Food stalls all over the place, people hawking fortunes, henna tattoos, toys. Billions of tourists (and locals) enjoying the pleasant evening weather.

I think many people would make a meal: get some appetizers, sample small bits of several entrees and then try all of the deserts. We took a different approach: we started with fresh donuts and worked on from there. Crepes, nuts, some other pastries all found their way into our mouths. We never really looked at any protein or vegetables.

We got back to the hotel around 9, and did some packing. Tomorrow we head to the High Atlas Mountains.
