One of the biggest reasons I wanted my parents to visit was so that they could picture my world and meet the new people in my life. They arrived late on a Friday night, so the weekend was pretty low-key. We ate breakfast at the corniche (ocean), visited my church, ate ice cream in the Medina, and walked a lot :)
Monday...Welcome to AAC! It was so nice to show them around the school and introduce them to my kids and coworkers. The title of this blog is how one of my 6th grade boys greeted my mom ;) I was permitted to leave school early on Monday so that we could visit the Hassan II Mosque (one of the largest mosques in the world). It was beautiful and so interesting to learn about how it was made...complete with retractable ceiling!
Tuesday...The parents slept in and met me at school later in the day. The Koons flew into Casa in the morning so the six of us went to a juice bar after school to keep the Koons from falling asleep :)
Wednesday...Another early morning on the school bus :) My kids were excited to see my parents again. After school we went to the Habus (small souq/shopping area) to get dinner and mint tea.
Thursday...My parents were off in Rabat (the capital) with Paul and Cindy. We met up again after school to go to my Arabic teacher's house for a traditional Moroccan meal. The evening was perfect...an absolute highlight of the trip!
Friday...SPRING BREAK here we come!!!
