Drinking mint tea in a carpet shop in Fes. Mint tea is served very sweet, without milk, and is very nice indeed. Most shopkeepers were very hospitable and friendly. To an extent, it is all part of the sales process. A tremendous amount of subtle psychological pressure is put on you, until in the end, you almost feel compelled to buy. Even the cats get in on the act. I escaped with my wallet intact. Neena brought a rather nice blanket.
