04 Marrakesh

We arrived at the airport in Marrakesh.  It took several attempts at an ATM to get some cash.  The exchange rate is roughly 10:1 Moroccan Dirham to US Dollar.  Plus a 5% fee.
2000 MAD = 218 USD.
Since we arrived way early, we needed to check on our prearranged transportation to the hotel.  Annie emailed the hotel to ask if the transport was available now to collect us.  Within 25 minutes we were greeted at the airport and driven to Riad Misria.  Thanks Abdul.

    Love the shot from the air where city meets "country."
    Did anyone make us of the cylindrical WC?
    How's the food?

      Did not use the WC...yet.
      The contrast of the city vs country was fantastic.
      We have had one meal so far, it was very good. Annie found the restaurant off the main square in Marrakesh
      Cous cous is a traditional dish.
      Had Lamb, Beef, and Chix. Sorry, no food pix...yet
