Typical Summer Morning at the Co-op

This morning at Cooperative Adwal, I sat with the women on a large red and white shaggy wool carpet placed near the door to catch any little breeze. I helped thread muzuns (large sequins) on short lengths of string to be incorporated into a carpet just started on the loom. The work was tedious yet peaceful. We listened to Moroccan music on Z's mobile phone and the shouts of boys playing soccer in the street. The basha's driver came by and greeted everyone, then roared off on his little motorbike. A herd of goats ambled by the doorway. These are things I will miss.
