Idudu, businessman/largest local bread producer and family had never had pizza. So we made a deal, if he provided the dough, I would bring the tomato sauce, cheese and pepperoni and we would bake pizza in his bread oven.

Goat in an argan tree

During my first year of teaching English in the provincial capital of Taza, I met my husband at the marche in Fez. He was working for a French oil company and during my second year of service, he was transferred to the region of Essaouira. We conducted a long-distance romance which included visits back and forth. When I visited him in the south, I saw goats like this one climbing in the argan trees to eat the nutty, olive-size fruit.
Carol Ventura talking to La Jacaltequita members

Officers of La Jacaltequita and I visited weavers in outlying villages twice a year. Here I’m discussing hair sashes with some of the members of the local chapter. The long hair of the Jacaltec women is wrapped with the same backstrap-woven hair sashes that they sold through the cooperative. American friends accompanied me on this trip to Limonar (a 6 hour walk from Jacaltenango) in 1979, including Anne Mulbry Cordon, the photographer.

Holy camel

Bactrian Camels are abundant in the Gobi. I met this particular camel at a camel polo competition. He had been recently blessed by a buddhist monk and therefore for the remainder of his life, would not be used for labor, sport, or killed for meat.
