Photo: Spice Market in Marrakech, Morocco

I showed a photo yesterday of our task of reloading our spices in our Scottsdale home.  As a photo, it was not up to the customary standards for this website, but I showed it so that I would have a transition and excuse to show today's contrasting photo of a a very different and more exotic approach to the sale of spices.

Unlike the jars of spices in Safeway that are the source of the spices that I keep in Tupperware in my kitchen, in North Africa and the Middle East people buy spices in bulk from markets such as this market in Marrakech, Morocco.

I would worry that a gust of wind would blow the spices off the tall cones, or someone would be careless or malicious and bump into them.

I will show a closer view tomorrow or another spice market.

This week we have photos of Gibraltar posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
