Marrakech, Fes, and the riad courtyard

Morocco

Blanche loses her composure in the souk over textiles and becomes invested in the riad courtyard light at golden hour, and the hammam moves her in a way she will describe for years. Hazel negotiates in the souk with the calm of a woman who has sat through faculty budget meetings, and she comes out of the hammam still processing the experience.
