While walking the narrow winding streets of Algeria’s M’chounèche, in
the Aurès Mountains, I accidentally interrupted this small group of conversing Shawiya
Berbers who had gathered in the shade to sip tea. They stopped to have a look
at me, and I stopped to shoot a picture of them. They were as curious about me
as I was about them. So an invitation followed, which I gladly accepted, to
share their tea, which was still brewing inside the house over the embers of a
small fire. Three small glasses of it, as is the custom. Moslem hospitality is
legendary.
