$100 Taxi Ride: (Ep13) - San Francisco/Marrakech

Packed onto a peninsula on the Pacific Coast, San Francisco is one ofthe most beautiful and engaging cities in America. Our driver Ally insists we bypass typical tourist sites like Fisherman's Wharf, but relents long enough for a glimpse of Chinatown and the fortune cookie business. After stopping for lipstick, we tour Tire Beach, a graveyard gallery of old buses and Ally teaches us the finer points of city driving including horn etiquette! Next stop is Marrakech, It's summertime in Morocco, and the fabled oasis of Marrakech is sweltering in the north African heat. Charif our driver takes us along the hippie trail ofthe 60s from the air-conditioned comfort of his cab. In the Medina, the old city, we experience the Morocco of antiquity which includes a Berber market selling donkeys. On our way to the Atlas Mountains, we stop at a casbah where the pace of life is zen-like, and at a bustling market which dispenses both prescriptions and prickly pear treats.
