TAXI MAN. This is my pal Hafid. He is a kurti, which is the man at the taxi stand who helps fill the taxis with passengers. I was taking photos this morning of the produce hanut; he had just started the vehicle for the driver, and had no reluctance in me taking a picture. He does not drive taxis himself. This fellow has been with me from day one in my village. I arrived late in the day with much luggage, looking for my homestay family, feeling very lost and insecure, and he kindly helped me haul my things to where I needed to go.

By the way, all the "i"s in Moroccan words are pronounced like the French "i" which is "ee".
