Here's a treat; have a peek!

I haven't gotten around to writing much, but here are some pictures of recent happenings.

School is out and soccer games are everywhere! Teams line up to play and passion for "football" fills the air around these makeshift fields.

A break in the centuries-old wall that reveals the city within.

What a magnificent structure that has endured more years than the whole of the United States. I love to imagine all the things this wall has seen.

"Don't touch my country" - A political and social message using traditional imagery (the red hand of Fatima)

A gorgeously painted entrance to a school. Above the door is the name of the school is Arabic and Berber, the native language of many Moroccans now required to be taught in Moroccan schools where Berber populations are significant.

A beautiful view of the city as the evening approaches. Boys playing soccer with the mountains in the background.

Some of the fabulous folks I work with about to tear into a quiche I made for the weekly meeting. Success!

My favorite Moroccan dish - Pastilla. This one was made with chicken on the inside, and has a crispy crust smothered with crushed peanuts, cinnamon, and sugar. Oh yummy! And around the Pastilla were arranged homemade Kefta, which are essentially meat kebabs with herbs infused.

And here's a glimpse of my "office." Very Moroccan with the tiled walls and the couch that surrounds the walls.
