While at the coast, I wanted to check out the beach of Agadir and took a 15 minute walk to the beach. The shoreline was extremely wide and long, and I decided to walk from one end of the beach to the other.
As I was walking, one guy approached me and started speaking in French. I replied in English saying I don’t speak French. He subsequently asked “Spanish?”, and although I could speak some, I said I couldn’t and can only speak English.
I continued walking, with him walking alongside, while he continued trying to communicate with me in broken English. After a few sentences, he blurted out “My wife is dead… I love people (I think he meant women)”. I just continued walking, while thinking, was that supposed to be a pick up line?!? He followed a few more metres, and seeing that I was not responding much, he gave up and walked away. What an encounter!
After spending about an hour by the beach, I made my way to the Souk and to find lunch. The Souk was huge, with a good assortment of products available. Prices seemed really reasonable, and there was never a need to bargain as people were honest. I soon settled for a store at one of the food outlets and ordered some fried seafood – it was delicious!
