Hi my dear Steemians! Hope you all are wonderful!
Here is my #MarketFriday, initiated by my dear Denise <3! Who is wandering around the world and, according to @old-guy-photos, is nowhere to be found ;)...
We all miss you @dswigle!
My #MarketFriday today is about last minute shopping for some souvenirs. We all know about this. When we travel (at least, it happens to me), we always leave the buying of souvenirs for the last minute.
Not that I do that these days, meaning that I rarely buy souvenirs now. I've told you before that I no longer have space or patience to be a hoarder. Or the spirit to buy souvenirs for my friends or family, just for buying. They have lots of stuff too and they know I love and remember them without the need of stuffing them with things they don't even need.
Of course, there are exceptions, sometimes you just see something that is perfect for a friend, you know he or she will love it or has a special meaning, and you can't help buy it. But, in what concerns to souvenirs, it's my opinion that we shouldn't buy them for people, but instead, people should "make" you buy them.
And, because I always travel with my kids (and you know they are my world), I don't feel the need to buy souvenirs... because they are with me <3.
We are together, reunited!
But in this last minute shopping for some souvenirs, they were the "culprits". They wanted to buy some gifts for their father, grandparents, and some special friends. So, we visited this little shop of the thousands in Marrakech. This one was located in the mythical Jemaa El Fna square, and although we came randomly, it ended being one of the special moments of the trip.
The owner was funny, nice and even theatrical. The bargaining (you always have to bargain in Morocco, it's a ritual!) was an excuse to some laughing in the between and some photos with the kids! It loved making those photos!
Hope you enjoyed the visit!
Thanks @dswigle, the sweet host of this wonderful challenge!
This is also my entry to the amazing Friday #portraitphotography by @photocontests and @juliank :)), my favorite photo contest. Cheers to you too, my friend!
Have a great Friday!
