Ever since my return from Rabat I feel like I have been meeting people all over the place. Despite what OIP people here have told our program, Moroccan people have been nothing but hospitable and warm to us. Yesterday we hosted a mixer in which AUI students could come meet us. They were really friendly and open to talking to us...and their English....it put me to shame.
Today I went to the Marche to have dinner.....OMG it was sooo good. BBQ meats, Harija (Moroccan soup), French fries, rice and of course Hawai (I may have to do a blog entry dedicated to just that). It was so much better than the restaurant in Rabat (I still have love for you though!)...we then mosied over the Auguelman, the local bar geared toward foreigners (I mean the subtitle did say something about Tourism) where we met up with people from the program and some other foreign exchange students. They were from everywhere...Ivory Coast, Netherlands, France.... and their hue was ebony. I appreciated that so much. One of them began to talk about black people in Paris...I was engaged. I wanted to know more....he seemed like he knew about the plight...I wanted to pick his brain. I figure we have some more time for me to do that...no need to scare him at all...
Well tomorrow is Fez so there will be many pictures and probably much to say. Also, a much needed Rabat entry is in order.
