Chillin with the new fam, yo


It’s always a surprise to me to calculate the amount of time which I have so far spent in this country. To think that I have been here for less then a month is difficult to fathom. Even more so, is the fact that it has only been 2 weeks!

I have begun my first “homestay”. The family which I am staying with is absolutely wonderful. There are ten people in the house, along with sheep, goats and a donkey (the animals are kept in gated areas and only come out shortly for feeding). I have four host sisters and four host brothers. Everybody in the family seems very sincere and genuine. I spend a lot of the time hanging out with my host sisters, which mainly consists of eating, watching tv and being laughed at for my Darija.

Sorry, but I must cut this entry short so that I can uphold my Moroccan “habitual eating and sleeping a lot” routine.
The pic is of me finding a kilo of chocolate. oh yeah, i said a kilo..
