Watching the world go by outside the window is always a common pastime when we’re in Morocco, which is kind of funny because we don’t spend ANY time looking out the window at home. There’s always a lot happening on our street here. I’m sure I’ll have more to add, but here are some photos from the last few days.
The boys are constantly playing soccer in the street. It’s currently midnight and I can still hear them out there.
The littlest ones can’t go out unsupervised, so if they don’t have a responsible older sibling they have to sit in the penalty box and watch.
This boy’s father washes cars…he uses the jugs of water to wash and rinse (no hose). The boy helps with the mats.
This guy meets his supplier of prickly pear fruit (carmouse ensada) outside our window every morning and spends hours (literally – 2 or 3 hours!) arranging the fruit in neat piles. It must be a good marketing plan because he comes back with an almost-empty cart. Beware of eating too much prickly pear fruit…there is apparently an established process for getting your digestive system “unstuck” if you eat too much. It involves olive oil and some sort of a stick. I’ll pass.
Coke (Kooka) is definitely the prevalent soda brand here. I haven’t seen any Pepsi yet.
A surprising number of people still use donkey carts to get around. It makes the traffic extra-fun.
This whole wagon is filled with parsley. Imagine the scent!
A new door was delivered by this cart:
I’m not sure if the traffic laws are nonexistent or if they are just not enforced, but driving is an adventure!
