This weekend Sarah and I, as well as four other teachers, were able to get away from the city and enjoy a weekend at the beach! We rented an apartment in Skhirat, a small town near Rabat. It was a beautiful location and so relaxing (exactly what we needed). Arriving Saturday afternoon, we made dinner and sat around and talked for the rest of the evening. The big event of the evening was seeing a small sliver of moon in the sky! Ramadan ends with the new moon and so this meant one more day of Ramadan...which also meant no school on Monday or Tuesday! Sunday was spent at the beach, and for the first time in four years I was able to thoroughly enjoy reading a book :) That evening two of our friends made a Tajine (another traditional Moroccan dish made of meat and vegetables) YUMMY!
We squeezed in our last hours of sun on Monday before heading back to Casa. Now Monday was Eid (much like our Christmas), but we were told the trains would still be running. No so. This was the beginning of our adventure home :) Three taxis, and a lot of close contact, later we were back home! Yeah!
