Morocco (September, 2014) – While exploring Marrakech, the customary "do you mind if I take a shot" led to the duo in unison saying "oui" while simultaneously raising their water bottles. My reaction to which was an animated thank-you and an acknowledgment they made the shot better. Of course not everyone wants to be admired by the tourist gaze; here I admire the creativity, I also encourage more of it. Our week in the labyrinth of the Medina holds bittersweet nostalgia; but I'll be back there one day for more sweet banter if nothing else.
