A massive explosion ripped through a cafe in Djemma el-Fna square in Marrakech this week killing 15 people and wounding 20 in what the government called a criminal act. The worst in eight years…
The Djemma el-Fna square in Marrakech is full of activity day and night and sitting in a cafe is where you take it all in. THE main attraction.
Full of snake charmers, story tellers, water sellers, healers and who knows what else. Everyone attracts an audience, especially the Moroccans. In the evening, it gets even busier with workers setting up their food stalls in anticipation of the huge crowds of locals and tourists coming for dinner. It has to be the world’s largest open air restaurant.
Sharing a few of those scenes as we took it all in…It’s hard to believe that two months ago we were sitting in a cafe enjoying another adventurous day in Morocco just like those unfortunate ones this week. My heart goes out to the people and their families…
