I'm starting to know the city's markets and specialty stores. Today was the Saturday market and wonderful spice shop that one of my friends had shown me the other day.

I thought it was a traditional day where once a year you throw pottery out of the balconies, but it only turns out to be May 1st. There is Sirocco wind today and it is expected with a little rain tonight .Maybe I will also have to sweep red Sahara sand on the deck tomorrow. Sirocco winds are known to bring sand from the Sahara. Got a nice deal with the harbor master for the fee yesterday in April. I'll probably stay here until the middle of May ...... but it's fine here.
