Breath-taking,  isn't it  ??!!

         
     
 

Nice little rocky trek

 

Not that dangerous ...    but   pretty  slippery

 
     
   
     
 

 
   

 

Thought it was interesting to watch the flames under the kettle,   being fanned with a bellows.

 
   
     
 

 
 

Don't  think I'd  like to be behind this  hay truck  on the open road.

 

Arriving for the sale

     
   
     
     

Ah.....  come on now  !!!         'Fess  Up  Guys  !!       Ya  gotta  admit  this is    PRECIOUS  !!!!

         
   
     
   

*@#*   !!!!          I  GOT  CAUGHT  !!        Thought Roy was at the cattle pen.

Wellllll ..... he just said  I shouldn't  "pet".      Didn't say a thing about  "cuddling"

 
   
     
   
     
         

 
     
         
     

One of us  did not consider this drive to be much fun.

     
   
     
   
     
         
   
     
     
         
     
         
     
 

Our friends Marge & Dick volunteered to participate in the

 "mock marriage ceremony"

 

With  the  Imam

 
         
 
     
         
   
     
 
     
   
     
     
         
     
         
 

This guy is drawing .... using the sun to burn the image  into the wood.

 

And this is the beautiful  "Desert  Rose "

     
   
     
 

 
 

   
 

How about that door carving ??!!

 

Our Hostess

 
         
     

She showed us how to operate the  "grain grinder"  while we visited the kitchen.        It's really hard work !!

 
     

We went up to the roof of her house ... and got a surprise !!!      She has to  grind corn .... but they've got a solar panel on the roof.

( it's kind of like that old recognition test     " What doesn't Fit In This Picture ?"  )

 

 
 
     
     

This is a tradition the 4 of us have , for our travels together.      At least  ONCE  on each trip , we have to have pizza & go to McDonalds

 
 

You can find all sorts of transport  mingling together on the streets.  

However .... the guy steering the bike with one hand & holding the child with the other .... did make me cringe a bit.

 
   
     
   
 

   
         
   
     
   
 

Wellllll ...... it's only  polite to thank them for the ride.

 
   
     
 

 
     
         
   
     
   
     
         
   
     
   
   
     
     
         
     
         
   
     
   

We've always loved the wonderful courtyards and the magnificent ceilings here

     
         
     
         
     
         
   
     
   

This Medina was full of the usual things one normally finds in a medina ...... but we came across a  few  new things .... such as :

     
 

A unique  Wood Decor  shop .....

 

top-of-the-line  Jewelry store ........

 
         
     
 

delightful   Wedding Baskets of Candy .........  and ...

 

These  Women.  Haven't seen this type of attire before.

 
         
   
     
 

 
       
             
     
         
   
     
   
   
         

 
     
         
   
     
   
   
     
 

What's so funny ???        Possibly my reaction to seeing  "tripe"  for the first time.

Given the number of native markets we've been to over the years ....

have no idea how I was lucky enough to miss seeing this until now  !!

 

ADORED  this gentleman. !!

He had such a twinkle in his eyes.

     
 

EWWWWWWWWWWWWW  !!!

 

But this is the prize shot !!

  Yep ... he's got a fire going under the Butane Tank

   
     
 

 
     
         
     

I   SWEAR  ......  we were only  TALKING  !!!

 
   
     
 

 
 
     
 

Here I was ....  being all good ...  and everything    AND  THEN  out of nowhere  ( and completely undeserved )  .......  I received   yet another   "DON'T  PET"   talk.
