Marakech 411

I have been in Marakech for 3 nights now. This place is fantastic. When we got here, Michele and I met up with three of Michele's business school friends, Keisha, Ashish, and Ankir. We are staying in a riad which is like a guesthouse where all the rooms open out on to an open room or garden. Our riad is in the medina, which is the old part of town. We are very close to the central market which is filled with food stalls and entertainers and bordered by restaurants and shops. The place is enchanging at night when it is packed with tourists and locals alike.
