So one day I went shopping in the Medina. I looked all around and ended up buying a few things, a hand of hamsa necklace for myself, a small painting for my host family, and I stumbled upon a few pottery stores. After coming back to the same shop a few times, the store keeper offered me some sort of deal on the pottery, I think it was buy four get two free! They had a selection of things and offered to personalize them with my name, but I declined, intending them to be gifts.
I bought two plates, two mini tagines, and two bowls. Lots of vibrant colors. It was getting late so I had to hurry out and get a train ticket. I got on a train around 630, being only five or six stops from my house, I expected to be able to make it back before the trains stopped working at 7:00 pm for Ramadan break-fast. Turns out I was wrong. I got to the cross over point and then they stopped. My cell phone being dead, and out of cash and having only petty change, I made a spectacular decision-- I should walk home! I didn't want to wait until it was dark outside for the next train to go at 8:00 pm. So with all my heavy pottery I decided to follow the tracks and walk back.
It surprisingly took me only about half an hour or maybe the time was different than I thought, but I ended up home around 7:30/7:45, only minutes after my parents had broken fast. I was so exhausted but my roommate was out of town so I put my purchases down and went to eat with my parents.
I decided to carry more change on me and charge my phone more often. Haha.
