I can't write long because there is only one computer with internet access in the entire riad and no wi-fi. But Marrakesh is good and I am completely satisfied that traveling alone here will be fine. I went to the Djmaa al Fnaa square today and wandered for several hours. To my absolute horror, I got completely turned around and realized that I didn't have the address of my riad handy. YIKES! I ducked into a cybercafe to look it up online and totally confused the adults running the place. But the under-ten set there on the Playstations made it their business to figure me out fast. Thank heaven they did! They crowded around me chattering away happily in English, helping me find the right keys on the keyboard (because they are scrambled around on the keyboards here), giggling at my Facebook post, and finally taking me by the hand and gently leading me to my door. Best ambassadors in the world, as my sister pointed out. So long for now, until I find a cyber cafe!
