(Nov. 07, south Morocco)

In a one of the weekly markets, one and half hour by local bus from Essaouira.

This destitute old man was eyeing the tea stall, hoping to get some free tea, instead he received a small coin - cannot imagine how much he got in total that day, during the whole time I was there = several hours with plenty of stops in such stalls and no toilet visible around :))), he was pacing the same alleys up and down, endlessly.
