The market this morning was huge...likely because the weather was so glorious..at least 22 degrees by 1000...and the lighting amazing! Bruce and I went over about 1130....to find the roti poulet....normale not fermier....fermier is about double the price so I am assuming that it is free range!
On the way back Bruce realized his little barbershop he has been keeping his eye on for a haircut was open and so we went back so he could get a haircut!
What a spot..most days the seats are all taken as folks wait in line for a haircut...today just a young father and son...and the father was very particular and both were getting this cut we have seen quite a lot over here... Totally shaved up the back with a little round thatch on the top that is spiked with gel....both father and son... The back is shaved with a cream and straight razor and the top done with scissors and gel...quite the process...not Bruce though..he was pretty straight forward...anyway when the Father was done he jumped up and went to a nearby sink and washed his hair. And dried it with a towel... Close by there was a large mirror with a shelf with gels... He then fixed his hair as he wanted it.. Put on his baseball cap backwards... The thatch was protected and off he and his son went..oh yes he did pay.
The two young fellows in the shop about 30 years of age were friendly the one working on Bruce's cut was trying hard to understand all Bruce's hand motions..a scissor cut..shaped around the ears.. And no thatch.... They then asked where we were from...Canada brought a light to their eyes and as most people say they said. It is very beautiful there... They then told us they were from Morocco...interesting..not France...anyway 10 euros later we left happy as Bruce's hair looked great... We call these experiences "accueil". I hope the IPad does not change that on me...in other words. Pleasant..with friendliness..Bon vivant... Some people and places have it while others could not care less about us or tourists or maybe life in general. But these lovely young men in the Phareon barbershop had it!
We are sticking close to "home" today...Bruce is making a lamb daube for tomorrow...we have the chicken for tonight...we are reading and will enjoy dinner on the little patio off the third landing... I am watching how many tourists take pictures of the water wheel outside our door...certainly lots..
Did buy a new sun hat and Bruce said it would look good on the north end of Anna Maria..quite fancy.. I have not forgot about the picture of Bruce in his new hat so maybe we will do them both.. And call it the hat blog..Au Revoir!!
