Street Art Essaouira
Sunday, February 21st, 2010
Walking in the medina and in the new town we have discovered these graffiti, election posters and advertising flyers. We liked them so much we thought of sharing them with you. If you go to Essaouira why don’t you try and find them!!

Thanks to lovely Petra for her generous donation of 100 toothbrushes…and as is Petra’s way, they’re not just functional but also beautiful. They were a big hit with the infant children in Ait Bousduk. Check out Petra’s creations.

Some more views inside
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010To get to the new house, you walk down a corridor to the left of Dar 91 and then up some steps to the first floor, where you find a two-room flat with a tiny understairs kitchen and windows over the city wall.
Further up lie two more flats, each with two rooms – and then the stairs wind on, finally reaching the 4th floor roof terrace, with views to the sea and across Essaouira’s old and new towns. All three flats cluster around the ‘mrah’ or central riad hole, although the previous residents had blocked this off with plastic and chipboard so as to create some privacy.
It seems unbelievable that this house, which now lies empty and has become so familiar to us, was so recently home to no fewer than 21 people. On our early visits our memories of its labyrinthine layout were so transitory that we thought we’d never make sense of it!
