True Life: I live in Rabat, Morocco

We love going to dinner in huge groups and then trying to figure out the bill... haha

the bathroom: toilet/shower

the kitchen that I'm never invited into (I've opened the refridgerator once)

The hallway. The doorway on the right goes into the kitchen. On the left is green room then blue room (my room) then my parents bedroom. At the very end is the bathroom! thattttts it!


Zineb... she was being difficult and wouldn't take a nice picture haha. She and I are actually kind of friends. Her English is really pretty good and she always understands me when I ask for things:) But that's really the extent of our realtionship besides the occasioanl touge stuck out at me haha

the tea pot full of mint leave and green tea leaves and of course the sugar you can't see (That's how it tricks you!!)

ymmmmm Moroccan mint green tea

My average breakfast. Reif is what that tortilla thing is called. It's just fried bread and it's delicious. Then we have the cup of tea, a few options of cheese and honey. Don't forget the packet of cookeies hidden behind the tea... it's always offered even though I never take them (someone will grab them no worries)

My room at bedtime. We throw the pillows in the back of the room and spread out our blankets:) And then apprently jump around?

This is where ALL of my things have been for 3 months. not.com.plain.ing.


Mine and my sister's room. This is one of the two "salons," as they're called, in my house. This is the blue salon, the other one is green and that's where my brother sleeps. They are exactly alike except the other one has the TV.


My host mother. She was all dressed up because she was going to a party:)


orange groves at the ruins... We were actually encouraged to climb, pick and eat them. They were absolutely delicious as well.
Hey Stork! thanks for posing!

Old mosque in the ruines... notice the large stork nest on top... they are all over!

An old Roman/Berber ruins... This when we were doing our touristy sight-seeing of Rabat last weekend

Rabat is on the left and Sale (the sister city) is on the left and is seperated by a river that comes off the ocean.

King Hassan II himself! In the flesh! (kind of...) I do actually think his body is inside becasue this place is full of security guards (security gaurds who hate thier lives b/c of how bored they are gaurding a dead body... I saw one texting on his cellphone behind his huge rifle)

The Hassan II mosque... his dead body is inside

This is the old ruins of an old mosque that was destroied in an earthquake a few hundered years a go. And Rabat and the ocean in the background.
