– Rabat, Morocco<\/p>\n

First stop in Rabat, was the Peace Corps headquarters! Once you’re in through the gate:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4595-2\"<\/p>\n

Volunteers!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4593-2\"<\/p>\n

Then, out to the medina.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4659-2\"<\/p>\n

Figs.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4641-2\"<\/p>\n

If only there was room for lanterns in my bag – but I was trying to travel light, since my next stop was Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4667-2\"<\/p>\n

Medina walls.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4609-2\"<\/p>\n

They rubbed the dough onto the hot plate with their bare hands!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4627-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4636-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4630-2\"<\/p>\n

I spy a happy girl.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4661-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4628-2\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4633-2\"<\/p>\n

So many things to eat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4637-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4634-2\"<\/p>\n

Sweets. Fried dough soaked in honey syrup.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4635-2\"<\/p>\n

Ceiling-scape.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4664-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4645-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4649-2\"<\/p>\n

That’s soap! The green mass is made with argan oil.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4642-2\"<\/p>\n

Spice packets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4644-2\"<\/p>\n

I pointed out to my sister that these were beautiful. She said they are for men.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4647-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4666-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4657-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4660-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4658-2\"<\/p>\n

Mint, for tea!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4650-2\"<\/p>\n

For little people. I’m just kidding.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4604-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4670-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4676-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4681-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4691-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4692-2\"<\/p>\n

Sunset.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4696-2\"<\/p>\n

Cranky cat, wants to enjoy sunset in solitude.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4697-2\"<\/p>\n

Unless you have food.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4693-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4699-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4701-2\"<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4600-2\"<\/p>\n

After a long day, waiting at the train station to go “home”. We were couch surfing from kind PCV to kind PCV.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_4707-2\"<\/p>\n

When we got back to our sleeping space, we indulged in macaroons that we picked up during the day. Yum.<\/p>\n
