Journal Entry:
We had breakfast at Touria's (Amy's friend and Berber tutor). After breakfast we headed for the weekly souq outside of town. about half of the thirty minute walk was through the village fields - beautiful, shady (lots of palms), and very pleasant. The rest of the walk was outside the oasis - blistering hot along side the road to Tinjdad. The souq wasn't too exciting, we bought vegetables for diner, fish for Touria, and Amy bought a spice grinder. Decided to skip the taxi hassle and walk back.

Spent the afternoon cleaning and bathing (a pretty major undertaking since you have to head water for an hour). When Amy went out I tried my hand at cooking - salsa and tortillas. Diner was my creations and Amy made soup.
