Snippets and snapshots from my semester studying abroad in Rabat, where I will be learning about the language, culture, literature and how to deter the advances of strange men.

A petit (shwia) photo diary

What I found on my drop off (or why I am obviously
not responsible enough to explore on my own)


Most of the buildings in the medina have terraces (I eat lunch
up here when I arrive earlyenough to get a seat--
which isn't very often.)

Getting home in the labyrinthine medina is a problem
for almost everyone. I took a picture of my alleyway turn
so that I would remember which one it was.
I am very lucky in that is was the only turn to
remember. If I can find my way to a certain main
street in the medina, I can turn here, turn at the
next arch, and after that, my alleyway is a long,
winding dead end.


When I have free time, I like to wander around town.
The Kasbah, which I think is the oldestpart of town,
is the most reliable place to find tourists.


It's a bit distracting to sit in class in this building,
but it makes for good doodling inspriationwhen I get bored.


I want to bring home a Moroccan door.

















And an arch to go with it.

Do you think I can bring it on the airplane?














And maybe some tile, too.
