Sights and Smells of Morocco at Jemaa el-Fnaa

When we booked our trip to Morocco, we knew that we wanted to visit Marrakesh.  Not only because of the song, “Marrakesh Express” by Crosby, Stills, and Nash, or the wonderful book, “The Drifters” by James Michener, but because of this lovely little book I read in school titled “Reflections on Fieldwork in Morocco” by Paul Rabinow.  Jemaa el-Fnaa is the main square in the old part of the city where Marrakesh truly comes to life.  Here, you can experience the sights and smells of all of Morocco into one small condensed area.  It is a sensory overload in the most fantastic way!
