Moments in no particular order

It's date harvest. Toward Erfoud you can find dates for  sale along the road.

Stewed prunes are a regular meal item. This is beef dish was roasted to perfection and topped with prunes stewed with cinnamon and sesame seeds.
Olives are a major part of the diet. All kinds. Here is pretty display in Meknes market.



This is our home hosted meal family. 5 of us went to their home for dinner. Arci, in real estate, Nadia, his wife and Kenza their college student daughter. Food and conversation great! We watched some of their wedding video (20 yrs ago) and all 3 of them started singing along with the wedding folk songs that were on the tape. 

Who knew they can make silk out of Agave fiber?! We are at that workshop. Several of us  were chosen to model different turban styles. I'm in Tuareg style. Ready for a sand storm.
Here is example of market in Fes. Vendors are grouped by type. "Sweets" or "dreses" or "carpentry" and so forth.
Making phyllo type dough. She's been doing this for 20 years!


Green roof building is part of the first university here or in many other places. In 859 AD, Lalla Fatima started univ of Fes. Nowadays, state sponsors free univ for students from Morocco.
These young men were gathering the acorns from the Cork oak tree. They will sell what they gathered. They said it might bring in $3.
