... for the family. Unfortunately, Jess and I had to leave for Spain four days before this, but on several occasions, we got to witness sheep and goats being bought and sold, and being pulled, carried, and wheel barrowed through the narrow medina streets by children. The family we stayed with for four nights had not bought their goat yet, but they said when they get it they keep it in the bathroom. The family was so kind to us.

Around 6:30 we headed back to Thamis (by now our favourite cafe) and ordered a chicken tangine and a meat skewers dish, finished off with some ‘gazelle horns’ – small marzipan-flavoured pastries.
