Some Interesting Pictures

Some interesting sights that I see daily when I walk through the medina....look closely


Easter in July in Morocco















I'm joking...Easter is not celebrated by Muslims. But those are live, baby chickens that have been dyed very festive colors. They cost 2 dh each (mere cents). No really, they move and chirp and poop. I asked a Moroccan friend about them and apparently you buy one as a pet and when it grows up...you eat it.


Pimped Out Teleboutique

Why go to a competitor when you can have a private phone conversation in this sweet pay phone store? Complete with rotating disco ball and other mirrored decorations. Sets the atmosphere nicely.













Actually, you eat it
Oh, I have coveted this photo for quite a while and I finally had my camera (and enough batteries) to take it. There are several stalls on zenkat Sidi Fateh that sell roasting cow and goat heads. They set the whole heads on the flat grill and wrap them with saran wrap, then roast them until the meat falls off. Then for a tasty treat, they stuff the meat into a pita bread for you. Here, the cow's jaws make a convenient spot to hold the pita bread. Probably warms it up nicely for you, too. Tasty biz, indeed. And those are sausages to the right, not entrails.
