I guess the best place V ve ever been is Marrakech. I first went there many years ago. I was living and working in Casablanca,which was about four or five hours from Marrakech. We had a long weekend,and Dave and I were looking for something to do. 36
So we all left Casablanca on a Tuesday evening after work. Maiik’s family lived in a fantastic house very near to the main square with the market,Djemaa el-Fna. His mother cooked us dinner and then we all went to the square. 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 don,t even have a job and the last time I went was three years ago.
A. In fact,everything about it is great.
B. Dave was my best friend at the time.
C. It really was such an interesting place.
