Yet another Mohamed

This delightful chap, pictured with yours truly, came passed the van this afternoon and proceeded to entertain us with history and language lessons, as well as geography and berber knowledge. He was also just a lovely human being and although he is a trinket salesman by trade, he forgot to ask whether we wanted anything or not! Which is rather unusual!
He painted a picture of  Morocco after the French left in the fifties, that was so poor, skint was the term he used!  There were camels for transport and the Berber people had to fend for themselves with their wits, there wasn't any money. He explained to us the difference between the 3 Berber 'Tribes' in Morocco and the effect the Arab world has had on them. He is an older man and has seen many changes and a lot of greed.

He passed by us and after an hour left to catch the bus to Agadir which he does daily, walking the beaches hawking his wares, staying alive and being himself! Thank you Mohamed.
I slipped 20 dirhams into his hand as he left and you'd think I'd given him the crown jewels, that's £1.75!
I thought I'd share him with you as he left such a mark on us.
Hope all is well
Love
Ted and Krysia
