Ce Week-end

From Mohammedia to Lac de Sidi Bourhaba. 

We try to travel almost every weekend, because traveling is fairly inexpensive in Morocco, and when are we going to have this opportunity again? No one knows, is the answer. Alex and I have been dying to get away from the city, so I researched reserves and parks in our travel guide and Lac de Sidi Bourhaba was the closest. With the train, taxi ride, and walking, it probably took us a total of 3 hours to get there. Then it was almost time to head back.

MOHAMMEDIA

on the beach in Mohammedia. There was also a camel nearby. We lovingly thought of Khalid.

Eating grilled corn after swimming and lounging at the beach. 

We missed couscous Friday (again!), so we had Couscous Saturday. Alex, rebecca and I cooked. Fish, couscous with sauteed onions and bell peppers, 'a taste of indonesia' spices, boiled string beans and a cucumber/bell pepper/carrot salad with olive oil, and the same spices. It was good. We also had the best dates ever that night.


KINETRA/MEHDIA

McDonald's is for the middle class here. My delicious sandwiches are cheaper than their wraps or burgers. And higher quality too. Take that!

All and all, a very tiring weekend. We had meetings of our week plans and goals this morning and then we are going to go to the school in the afternoon. A couple members are sick, and it could easily be me. Alex and I have been eating raw veggies and fruits, sometimes unwashed and often un-peeled, I drink water out of the faucet and we eat food off of streets, handled, probably  unhygienically. But I feel great! Either I have a good immune system, or I have been extremely lucky. Either way, I am going to continue my ways until failure (except I will better about washing/peeling foods).
