marakesh, then home

hello all
i have been in marakech for a couple days now, its is quite a frindly city.
when we arrived, we had aranged to have some one meet us. our land lady, monique, lives in paris, so she said that the house cleaner would pick us up at the bus station. we told her multiple times we would be traviling with a certin no name bus line, but when we arived in marakesh we recived an email that first asking who we were traviling with, then saying the housecleaner would meet us at a different bus station
me father and brother went to the other bus station, but she had already left, so my father and i went in search of the house
we picked up a guide who assured us he knew the street, and we were then laucnched down a zigzaging path. when he stopped for directions we ditched him and got a new guide, well, actually a group of really young guides, who took us down another street, then asked for directions, by this time we had been gone for a hour. we picked up a third guide, who then launched us back the way we had come, through a medina (a massive market) and down a couple streets to a door.
this was the right one, so we paid them 20 dh, about 2 dollars, which is a quite decent amount, he got angry and wanted 100 dh each, wich is 10 dollars, or 20 dollars total
he finaly barterd him down to 80 dh, about well 8 dollars for both, picked up our bags, and went inside
the house is odd, the living room is practicaly open to the elements, with a staircase on one side to the second floor, which has no roof and the two sleeping rooms, which do have rooofs
so the entire place is cold, evean in the middle of the day. and it is beside a radicle islamic mosque, who, early in the morning blast out their prayer, for about 10 to 15 minutes, loud enough that you would swear he is inside your room yelling in your ear
marakesh is neat, there is a centeral square, with snake charmers and pick pockets
there are thousands of shops, leatherworkers and such
anyways we head home on the 8th, leave at 7:00 our time (am) and arive at 10:00 your time (PM) and i have to go to school (chen 11) in the morning the next day!
see ya
