Strolling around medina, unexpectadly I met a new friend in the center/downtown. It was lonely sheep which didn't allow me to get closer. I was warned not to try to feed or touch any sheep as some of them don't accept such unsheep, human behaviour and the reaction of their owners maybe different as well. You may be asked to pay for a picture with a sheep.
Donkeys are the most common animals in downtown Essaouira and are still used for transportation.

Driving to Essaouira, I passed many locals riding a donkey and carrying some goods to sell on a local market in Essaouira. I am not familiar with riding a donkey, they live only in the zoo in my country, Poland.
So, I was surprised to see how natives seat on the donkey: with both legs on the same side of a donkey trunk. I wonder why? Well, they dance on a donkey trunk: up-down, up-down haha! Great fun, I must try it next time.

The color of the traditional clothing of this little girl is what is called the 'Tuareg blue', though not worn only by Tuaregs, but by anybody. If you buy one, you will realize it is very pleasant to wear.

This is a good address if you want a red or black henna tattoo, perfumes or other cosmetics. This lady is very nice and can do very beautiful tattoes. I tried a black one because it's said to remain longer but it already disappeared after two weeks. Now it's my turn to do it. Hmm, not easy at all !

I would copy and paste, but it is quite long. The post is called "Coup de Foudre".
I will try to post a photo soon.

Like in every place in the world the best thing to do is to ask before you take a picture of people. They can ask you money or just be happy / angry of your proposition!!

Look at goats climbing up the tree near Essaouira. You can see it only in Morocco. Unforgettable. And please don't ask me if pigs fly in Morocoo :-).
