It's dirt!

Another week in Fes has just flown by. I can't believe I have almost finished four weeks of classes. Although I am ready to come home and enjoy what's left of my summer.

On Tuesday night Charlotte and I cooked dinner for our homestay family. It was an experience. We made pasta with veggies in it, coleslaw, garlic bread, and dirt for dessert. We also made enough for about three families our size, especially considering Moroccans eat pretty light for dinner.

It was fun though. They really enjoyed it. All the women thought that we were not domestic and are seriously concerned for our future husbands so we had to show them we were capable of doing something. although we managed to use the wrong plates but it was ok.

We made dirt for dessert for the kids. If you don't know what that is you had a sad sad childhood. It is crumbled up cookies, chocolate pudding and gummy worms. I don't think they totally understood the concept but the kids liked it. We have adorable pictures of the mess they made. And poor Si Mohammed choked on a worm when he was showing off his monster skills.

It was nice to be back in their house and just sit around the dinner table and laugh and talk with the family. I promised them that I would come back this weekend and spend the night. I really do miss them and the medina. It is really weird being in Morocco and not walking through the ancient medina everyday. But life in La Ville Nouvelle has it perks too. Like not being followed home at night.

I got a new roommate in the villa. Rose. She is awesome. She also went to St. Mary's Ryken which makes her even more awesome. In case you don't know, that's the school my Dawnie went to. So we can talk about things we miss from the county and it makes me not so homesick anymore. Sadly I miss the county. :(
