you will witness many scavengers throughout the medina*

some adorable+
+some truly trashy..


*morocco has cats/chats/gatos galore!!

they seem to have good rapport with the local business owners+thus spend their days snacking on fresh food or trash.

made me think of greece ..i recall back in '98 witnessing a dogs life on santorini...

well, doesn't it go without saying that i can't very well read in the dark.

as it turns out, couscous goes straight to the caboose.

ok, to be fair..it might not JUST have been the couscous but also the camel burger, the chuletón, the 15 dish salads, the 4 course breakfasts with endless croissants, and seconds at (almost) every meal...

the weight gain was a-okay in morocco, as we were clothed in appropriate long+loose islamic-country attire, but i reckon it's about time for some gastronomic restraint..as we're verging into shorts season.

he kept it hidden until i pressed play on the recorder.

i know i'm supposed to be a grown up by now but c'mon, giant donkey weiner's are hilarious...especially when you're just aiming to take a nice documentary photo+unexpectedly-woosh-there they grow...

(sorry i can't help myself from these bad jokes..i'm claiming jet lag:)

it's difficult to know where to begin, after such a very long time.

aglou. march 9. 2010.

he made it feel just like home.

now, i'm sorry for the lack of posts-of course i've got a plethora of fotos to share--but have had completely dodgy internet connections, if at all, throughout the entire trip...so hang tight-i promise to barrage you with imagery upon my return.
we say farewell to fes manana y hola madrid, our last stop before heading back home.

i'm doing the best i can.

pictures from the tiznit silver market.....(tuesday)

no, seriously..i hope to come home looking a bit much comme ca!

(already found a couple genius belts+one amazing vintage horned berber headpiece but such a long way to go--not to say nothing about my need for a francais refresher!--gots to bargain proper and all, non?!)

far distant lands await...

northern ireland->morocco->madrid with mumsa...will update if/when i can.
besitos
