Beth, Marc and others, thanks for your information about the souk. Donna, "overwhelmed" probably is a good description of what my reaction might be. I'm the antithesis of a shopper/bargainer. Still, the excursion has some appeal just to see this slice of local life. Decisions, decisions.

Denise, I hadn't seen that about the Cousteau Society lectures. I thought they were on the crossing segment, which is what makes sense to me. Is the information on the RSSC website?

Editing to add: This is my 1000th post! A milestone!
