Cooling off at a cafe with a fruit drink

The heat was on, while it was just in the 90s it was really different type of heat. The sun was intense. Locals Muslims wear head to toe clothing. They must be born without sweat glands.  Cab had no air conditioning. For some reason this area is known for their fruit.If you look at a Satellite image everything seems like parched desert.  Our cab driver talked us into stopping at a cafe where we wrote out postcards and ordered a Strawberry/ Banana smoothie.  I also ordered bottle water as we were advised to not drink the local water. Our drinks had an ice cube. So far we are all fine.
