Le Week-Ende

With nothing much to do this weekend but stay cool in temperatures that have topped out at 113 degrees, we drink a lot of Sidi Ali. Local shops will try to push the inferior Ciel water on unsuspecting tourists, but the first time you demand Sidi Ali by name, they smile as if welcoming you to the club.

Here are a few random food shots from the past several days.



Chicken tajine at one of the many cafes that ring the Place. All are decent, none are great, but it’s hard to beat the location.



We’ve mentioned Stall #31 before, but we’ve been back several times. Since there are no napkins, we've taken to getting extra bread, and using that instead.





On Saturday night we join a friend of a friend for a very engaging dinner at Cafe du Livre, which, with it’s air-conditioned library and wi-fi access, has been quite a haven in the heat in addition to a reliably delicious meal.




And of course, back at Riad Andrea, we’ve been beating the heat with pitcher after pitcher of Mojitos.
