So, now we’re up to May 15th, and this was a driving day, more than anything else, trying to get through a bunch of the country.
Taliouine is Saffron Capital, so we tried some Safran (which is shockingly expensive in comparison to the weight it is).
Un-shockingly, because I have the palate of a 5-year-old, I didn’t love saffron, but what I did love was the man who owned the shop we went to, who took pictures with everybody who came in, and gave envelopes to people so they could send cards. And he had walls covered in notes and cards and photos and things, and I loved how he just had so much of the world in there. That was cool.
And then I stayed in a cute little riad in the medina, and called it a night. And then I’ll pick up with the next day tomorrow!
