Which Way?

After our second day in Marrakech we learnt how to identify the brown signs high overhead which marked the way to the Square.  The return trip to our Riad was not so easy.  Not once did we travel the same route.   Twice, upon entering a new lane way youths standing on the corner yelled "You cannot enter.  It is forbidden.  Street closed because of Mosque!" Wanting to respect their culture we promptly turned back and they offered to show us the way only to once again confuse us in the lane ways and request money to point us in the right direction.  We only fell for this ploy once.  Marrakech was a daily challenge but one we are pleased to have met.
