Wild sage ('sheih') is not only made into a 'zaaki' delicious tea, but is also prized for making indigo blue dye. Breakfast ('fatour') by assistant Abdi, also included labanah yogurt with flat pita bread and date syrup. Dinner: 'maglouba'-style chicken. Abdi wore a stylish black Calvin Klein hat. *Nial also presented us with a bottle of fine red local 'St. George wine, similar in taste to that from nearby Bakka valley. He did so 'because otherwise guests will assume that we are not civilized.'
