Waning Days...

This is my 9th week in Morocco! Days have been flying by, I swear.  


A few weeks ago Sara and I stopped at a whole-in-the-wall kitchen. One of the cheap, home-made Moroccan kitchens that look like they were ripped from their house's walls and installed in the city. I go there almost everyday to get fresh m'smmen ("proper" transliteration), or harcha (the best, in my opinion), or soup, or beans and lentils at lunch. I like coming here for dinner because I can delicious harcha + delicious soup + Moroccan mint tea and feel very full for under $1. Needless to say, we stop here for soup several times a week. And it changes every time with additions or subtractions of meat and other flavorings.

Last week we finished painting our center's rooms at al-Mostaqabal. Next week we will begin activities and tutoring in English at a different school in Hay Mohammadi, which has established summer programs. I'm really excited about teaching students how to play kick ball, playing language learning games I remember from French in middle school, and doing arts and crafts (like making monster pals!). It'll be fun to be a kid again.
