mhannon, My wife and I recently returned from a 10-day trip to Morocco.
I brought a small 5½" X 8½" sketchbook, an HB pencil, a variety of black fine-point and brush-tip felt pens and two 6B graphite sticks.
Our tour was very fast-paced so I had no opportunity to sit and sketch on the spot. Instead, I reviewed my photos from earlier in the day and chose something interesting to draw each night before bed. I limited my time to 1-hour max per drawing.

A merchant in an open air market is selling spices in bowls and fresh mint in a pile, both placed on the ground near his feet. He is wearing a turban and a long coat. He sits on a stone ledge attached to a stone block building behind him. Behind his head and shoulders is a rectangular opening in the building revealing the inside. No details can be seen inside the building.
