... that the cows are a lot skinnier looking but they are normal. Cows here also are not force fed corn. ALSO, I think all the beef in McDonald's is halal. So my burger was killed humanely. (Killed and humanely… it is like friendly fire.)<br> <br>After some research, it seems like Morocco is a semi peripheral country (in simplest terms, equal to a second world country). The U.S. is a core country. We are getting dominated in regards to food. Yeah, and Moroccan ...
Rabat, Morocco landerh... and when I got in, I dropped my pomegranates on the ground. As the car started moving, I swooped down and grabbed that fruit like a knight swinging the princess onto the back of the horse. Then I shut the door. I rock. <br><br>A miraculous thing has happened today. I realize that the honking no longer stands out. It is just background noise like a cuckoo clock, the chiming of the grandfather clock, or the call to prayer. You recognize that it is occurring but it ...
Rabat, Morocco landerh... minutes watching over the quiet town, gathering our thoughts about our experiences over the past few days. After about 20 minutes of scenery gazing, the wind got the best of us and we headed down the mountain and into our van for our last trip back to the port to catch our ferry. <br><br> We were taking a ferry out of Ceuta rather than heading back to Tangier and I must say, what an interesting experience it was. Ceuta is one of two "enclaves" owned by Spain on the ...
Rabat, Morocco warrmb7... you don’t have one that bites.)<br> <br>B) Round-Abouts<br> <br>They are the most glorious examples of Moroccan driving excellence. Oh, the splendor. Once again this might seem like a pandemonium (“liable to walk upon the sea” in the word of the great Johnny Mercer), and again, you would be wrong. I cannot stress enough that driving is a beautiful thing to behold and a terrible thing to attempt. Much like storm chasers, but I guess you ...

Always. I am fairly sure you could get arrested if you do not. I have not had the chance to see my theory proven, considering everyone honks. We will consider it as fact. You must honk even if no one is around as ...
Rabat, Morocco landerh... I didn’t want to cry, I didn’t panic, and I wasn’t worried about getting back (though I did wonder if it’d be before morning- I only had do much money), and I only got frustrated at the beginning. After that it just got really funny. Even when they were making fun of me. <br><br> <br>P.P.P.S. This trip wouldn’t be as cool if I didn’t have stories like this one to tell. He thought I didn’t speak English very well. HAHAHAHAHA!!!<br>

Rabat, Morocco nietsreuef... hug one day during our first week, and I've been hooked ever since. Out of all the kids we've met so far, he's gotten to me the most. I'm even posting pictures of us, even though I am sweating profusely and look like heck. :-) It's worth it to introduce you all to this little guy. This afternoon we had a full agenda. First was a cooking class with Khadija and the home base cooks. They made ...
Rabat, Morocco cleo2471... in Chicago, but there is a part of me that would love to live abroad, doing this type of work full-time for a NGO. Becoming fluent in an exotic foreign language. Immersing in the culture. How cool would that be?? Anyway, dare to dream. I'm just thrilled to be here now. I'll be in Fes and Meknes this weekend, and will be back in touch next week. Have a great weekend! B'esselama, Patty
Rabat, Morocco cleo2471... bags, because they expected tips. None of us had changed our money to Moroccan currency yet and only one girl had Euros on her. They accepted the tips in US dollars but seemed a bit put out by the inconvenience - I couldn't understand anything they said but did hear the word 'Americans' expressed with sarcasm. Oh, well, live and learn. We should've just said "la shukran" (no thank you)! We had a 30 minute drive from the airport to ...
