While Brigette was nursing a hurt foot, Tobias joined me on a walk up the side of one of the hills toward a redundant mosque which had been ignored by the locals since its inception by the Spanish. From there we met women watching their goat herds scrambling over scree. A large dog prevented our progress we made several abortive attempts to make our way around by an alternative route, with rocks in hand. One gentleman invited us to sit with him in an outdoor shelter overlooking the valley. Tobias chatted with him in Spanish about the kif and Ramadan. He said that he and his neighbours do very little work during Ramadan, and that the kif is cut during a less burdensome month. This Ramadan was easier than most, because the lunar calender month was coinciding with a solar calender month with shorter hours of daylight in which the fast had to be kept.
