Do you know anything about the hanging twirls of citrus peels?

Are those orange peels? When you return from your trip so let me know about those.

  Yes, orange peels. They were decorating a street vendors juice stall. They caught my eye as I walked past.

Great colours. I really wanted to go there when I visited Morocco but just did not have time. Next time I hope. Marrakech is my second favourite souq visited….

  So what was your favourite? Marrakech was good but I would say that Fez was better. There was nothing like it in Essaouira but then Marrakech didn’t have a port and a stinky fish market!

    I loved Fez. It felt altogether more authentically Moroccan and far less touristy. I will never forget the Muezzin’s call there, spookily eerie – I have a recording of it which brings back the feeling in an instant.

    I felt like I was in the film the time machine, drawn from my bed and out onto the balcony. Most surreal!

The orange peels caught my fancy. I always work on peeling them off as one peel, Andrew. 🙂 –Curt

The orange peels look so vibrant against the blue background. I wonder whether the vendor dries the peels and then turns them into orange zest (a spice)? That’s what I do with it… Thanks for stopping by Beauty Along the Road and letting me know you visited.

  I guess he might, he does have a lot of orange peel that’s for sure.
