Salaamu Lekum, Not a lot to report for today - it was pretty laid back with time to relax. We had orientation this morning, which included a scavenger hunt around the neighborhood. We split into groups and had to go find places and ...
It was a long week
Tuesday was more laying around though we were beginning to feel better. Guillaume found a super market and we got ourselves some food to make in the apartment. We really did nothing all day, but we changed from drinking the tap water to only bottled ...
Update on things
Well it's my second day of class and my studies are going well. I like having a small class size (6 people) to learn in. Our teacher is very good and he only teaches a little in english. After lunch our classes had a field trip to the souque (local ...
Odais........Medina!

Fes not 'Merica

When a frog tries to say Rabit...
I only stayed here briefly. I went to the medina, and took a couple pictures. The main thing that's crazy about Morocco is the price for postage. Especially to the US, its about $1.75 for a postcard. That’s insanity. Europe is about $1 / postcard to ...
Rabat Green Markets
... Rabat, but Saturdays are exceptional when the streets spill over with fruit, vegetables, spices, dates, nuts, and meat. Morocco, and Rabat in particular, have a rich history of commerce going back 2500 years to Phoenician and Roman trade for olive oil, ...
As-salem aleikum

Mo roc and roll

2nd Week
We'll last Sunday we headed to Meknes for the day. We went to the souqe there, and to an old islamic school inside of it. We went to a couple of palaces as well as a old prison. Most of the sites are just like Chellah meaning that there is no ...
