Casablancan Dump Truck

I really wanted to take some "everyday" pictures of life where we live. Tom and I went on a walk, and I saw this cute donkey in the street pulling a cart. So, I quickly took a picture. The man (in the first picture) saw me, laughed, and invited me to take more pictures. He laughed because the donkey was pulling a cart of trash- they must've thought me silly to be fascinated with a "dumptruck"!

Breaking the Fast

It is Ramadan in Casablanca. That means that for a month, people fast during the day. That means that between sunrise and sunset, they don't eat food or drink beverages. Can you imagine having to do that all day for a month? Of course, when the sun sets, EVERYONE eats a big meal, and some people stay up very late eating. There are lots of sweet treats to buy for this big meal, too.

We happened to eat at a restaurant one of these evenings, and two men gave us a performance. Go to the link to see the video I took. (It's not very good quality).
