Dream Trip 2008: September

Great Travel Moment

It was mid July and very HOT. We had missed our train from Tangiers and had to rent a car from Apollo car rental with no AC, music or car seats not to mention a massive vibration when we drove above 30klm, to take the 4 plus hour drive to Fez. Once we arrived we had to leave our rented box on wheels outside the Medina gates. I was carrying a 45 lbs toddler on my shoulders through the Seffarine Square on our way to our Riad. We came upon this man hammering a pot. Surrounded by huge cauldrons he saw somehow had sympathy for me carrying a backpack and a boy. He stopped and smiled at me I responded with a look of exasperation and he responded with this look in return. I happen to also be tugging my Canon Eos 30 around my neck and I motioned to my camera and with out delay I snapped his great expression.
