I can see why you got obsessed, I think I would be too!
They were so fascinating!
Wow! I wonder what they were being used for?
Pkondz did a quick google search
I did a quick Google search.
Palm thatch roofs
Long-wearing mulch
Hugelkultur Bulk (I didn't get what this was)
Filling swales paths
Biodegradable shade cloth
Garden fencing
Windbreaks
Woven crafts
Garden stakes
Fuel for fire
It did look fairly fresh from what I could see from afar.
Ahh yes, this was in Cuba as well when we got a private car/guide to take us to Havana
Seems like being a driver is something folks can do for tourism without having to pursue a ton of schooling.
Wow this picture made it so real for me!
Interesting.
Awww puppers..although they don't look too skinny at least
They seemed to be able to scrounge for food.
Just sitting there with the sellers
Actually I think the sellers are sitting there with the artifacts, hoping to drum up business!
This was very interesting to see them just all around
I know!
Whoa! I would guess you buy a cut, but who knows!
Just seems a bit weird to me......
Lovely carpets but I would imagine pricey? We have a small handmade carpet that D bought from Turkey when he visited his brother who lived there for a while
Definitely pricey. A small one they showed us was over $100USD
Funny that Mickey represents kids play even outside the US.
Lol I laughed at this, but totally true in your case!
Well yeah, not that the kitties pee all over the place, but you know if I spent big $$$'s on a carpet they surely would!
Thanks!
Nice, this showed it well, and the close up pic of course
I tried to represent.
this really puts the size in perspective
I know! Crazy big these things are.
Aww little guy- he doesn't look in too bad of shape to be honest
He certainly had plenty to graze on.....
Whoa! these photos really show that pollution
Yeah, it was bad.
They took us to some very decent places!
Can't say I've had fresh strawberry juice but it looks refreshing!
I had never had it before either and it was really good.
This looks tasty, fries look common over there hey!
They had a lot of food available that we find common in the Americas.
Lots of cake for dessert!
Some places.....but cakes are easy to make and most people like them.
I did notice in the first pic, and then you mentioned- that's very different!
So different than what we are used to.
This is such an interesting picture!
The goats
The guy on the chair
The guy on the phone
The potholes
The buildings in the background
Yeah, that was one of Jill's, she really captured all the stuff in that one.
Yikes, someone there is making money
Yes, didn't sound like much, no larger meat is strage
I was not impressed.
More cakes!
And more cake lol!
That was one thing about the buffet in our hotel, even at breakfast there was cake.
I'm glad you didn't experience much else for negativity on this trip
Most everyone was super nice and helpful. I think this was the only guy who showed us any weirdness.
I enjoy these pictures that have loads going on in them, lots of different things to check out
And most of them I was taking for one purpose and ending up catching so much else without meaning to.
The blue one stood out, then I started noticing the other paint colours
I didn't notice the other colors until you said something.
LOL! I'm sure Jill puts her money on the Chiefs! We aren't used to people actually talking on the phone as much I think, with texting and such
He was definitely on the phone a lot.
I would assume the lines are for people to line up?
I have no idea. I didn't even think about it.
I'm glad they kept returning! The carpets in all the pictures def reflect the lack of shoes!
Yes, the carpets were definitely in good shape.
Cuties! I wonder if they are brothers/sisters?
I'm sure they're all litter mates.
Wow! I will have to show Dorian, he probably knows the story, I haven't showed him any for a bit, my bad
Yes, he's missing out!
I got caught up in how different the walls are!
I didn't even notice that. But it was obvious that they just kept building stuff wherever they could put it with no consideration of space.
Wow already framed, looks great!
I like that too!
Thanks! I like and it makes me happy every time that I see it.
This looks like a horse to me
You're the expert!
Come on Jenny, I could have seen you giving this a jingle!
We'll fix your car, pick out a goat while you wait!
That's a slogan for you!
I noticed fruit stands set up outside DL in August in front of the main gates
The guys with the carts that have the fruit on ice and slice it up for you?
This one looks like a horse as well
There were a lot of horses in addition to the donkeys.
ohhh I love this picture as well, the buildings in this picture, the palm in front...so cool!
That was just a lucky shot.
Mmm Orzo...I quite like it as the noodle option in chicken noodle soup, might just have to make some
Yeah, that does sound good.
Is the orange one cheese? or spices?
I don't know. I think I only ate the pita. There was just so much food I couldn't taste it all.
Noted! I can't say I really know the taste of either- I'm not a huge hummus person- not sure why...not something I seek out
It's a big thing in So Cal. Just about every "plate" you order at a Mediterranean restaurant gives you a scoop of it. And it always shows up at potluck events that I attend.
Does not seem like a soup to me, but rather a drizzle
Same.
Wowzas that was all so much food!
I wonder if the workers keep the leftovers
Ahmed took them and he was going to give them to someone on the street who appeared to need it. Or maybe it was just going to be his dinner.
Those look like kids in this photo?
They allow kids in restaurants there.....I was just snapping a random shot of the restaurant. I couldn't help that they allow rug rats inside!
This place had only Middle Eastern style sweets. A lot of them were coated with coconut which is why I only got a couple kinds.
I'm getting caught up, wooohooo!
Yes you are, but I've got another update coming, probably later today.
