This afternoon, Bob and I went out to pick up some produce for dinner. We walked to Bob's favorite produce stand, which has what we assume is largely organic produce (not much money here for chemical fertilizers).
Here is Bob checking out the fruit.
Here are some of the veggies.
All kinds of people shop at this stand -- from the people who live on the same street in the fancy villas and pull up in their late-model mercedes to the people who work for them and live in the shantytown behind the stand.
In general, produce is cheap by our standards. That said, this spring, with all of the rain, the price of fresh tomatoes has gone up dramatically, from about $.20 a pound to about $1.00 a pound. That makes tomatoes, practically a staple around here, pretty expensive for regular Moroccans.
A bientot,
Kim
