We sat on the roof of a cafe,drinking tea and watching the people in the square below us. 37 There were people buying and selling absolutely everything. You could also listen to story-tellers,watch snake charmers,acrobats (杂技演员) ,and so on. 38 Their faces were blue and they had come from the desert in the south of the country.

             There's so much to see and do. Koutoubia Mosque is spectacular and all the tourists go there. The views are wonderful,with the Atlas Mountains in the distance. And the town has great restaurants.   39

             But it's the square,Djemaa el-Fna,and the shopping streets around it,that make Marrakech really special. Every time I go back to Marrakech,I go straight to the square and sit at my favorite cafe. 40 But right now,I dont even have a job and the last time I went was three years ago.
