Something for everyone.....

We had orientation this morning and then we went to the medina or outdoor market this afternoon. It was an interesting experience and I've posted a few pics so you can see some of the interesting items I found while I was there.



I will never be able to eat fudge again without thinking of the "buggy" fudge I saw today. I was surprised at the number of people lined up to buy it.... even with all the bugs on it. They just brushed the bugs off and dug in. They had small, medium, large and extra large turtles for sale. I don't have any idea what was in the blue cage at the bottom of the picture. It looked to be a cross between a miniature tiger and a little monkey. I did not buy anything.

I will go the short distance to the orphanage tomorrow morning at 7:30. They informed us today at orientation that we can't take our cameras, no photos can be taken at the orphanage. We will be bathing and caring for these children and they do not want to risk anyone trying to exploit them. I find it very sad that they have to worry about such a thing.

More tomorrow..... good night.

  3. What's the price differential on small, medium, and large turtles? Is the pricing rational on quantity or are small turltes a delicacy?
