This morning I went for a walk by myself. Working out is my "zen," and I haven't done enough of it. I had never walked alone before, but decided to do it anyway. I know for sure I looked like nothing close to a native, but I stayed along the main areas, and for the most part, I felt pretty safe.
I saw a lot of different things:
- kids walking to school with their backpacks
- small groups of men walking, some gawking
...some not
- women in their djellabas...some in groups, some alone
- men rummaging through garbage
- the typical stray cats and dogs
- travelers with their backpacks getting to their next destination
- men hanging out in doorways...saying "bonjour" or "good morning"
- men hanging out on the park benches along Mohammed V Avenue
I also wanted to share a video of a man we visited yesterday in the kasbah, making bread the old-fashioned way. You can view it on blip.tv.
