What have I been up to? Well, the most important thing, by far, is that I'm starting to get a gauge on where I go to for what. I have the man I buy spicy olives and pickles from (who is also the one person in this country who speaks and I cannot understand a single word of what he says), the man I buy garlic-y olives from (two stalls down from the spicy olive man in the Medina market), the woman I buy Rif (the country, or, for Morocco, the Atlas. Also, she's in the same market as the olive people) cheese from, the woman I buy bread from, the three people I buy pistachio ice cream from (yes, I need three of them, two near the Medina, one from a truck on the walk through the Ville Nouvelle), the man I buy figs (in season!) from (fruit souq, near the school), the man I buy plums from (also in the fruit souq, also in season, but not as cool as figs. Figs are in season!), and the man I get my bottled water, yoghurt (also pistachio), and other assorted goods from (which is Muhammad, the coolest person ever. See previous.). Keep in mind that these are kind of daily purchases for me right now, meaning that I'm doing a far amount of walking to buy from the people I like. Throw in coffee, tea, juice, and actual meals...
