Bring on the Dancing Cobras!

Moving from Islamic art, perfect in its symmetry, to snake charmers sounds like a stretch, but this is Marrakech.
It's a little like the 60s meets Islam in terms of the drum-beating in the main square of the Medina (the walled neighborhood). Women covered head to toe offer fortune-telling at the same time as Cobras strut their stuff to music.

Expect to experience a bit of culture shock here. I've found that the best thing to do with people here is to say
"hello" or "hi" in a friendly way and you're sure to pull a smile, even from most of the vailed women.

If you have any expectations or attitudes about Islam, they soon leave you once you're here for a few days.
Word has it people are free, seemingly, to worship as much or as little as they please.
Another word has it, is that the new King here is a very well-liked leader. He's young (and hip), too, even as he inherated the
throne from his father.

Islamic Photographic Quandry

As a matter of religious respect, I'm going to eliminate photographs of people in posts from Islamic countries.
Not that I want to as their are so many tempting candid people pics, but everytime I tried, I felt it was not worth the effort.
Aside from that, people in this day and age in the media seem obsessed with head-covered women.
I'll go with Islamic art, thanks.
