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.

Because if I didn’t end up with some ridiculous dilemma, it wouldn’t be life in Morocco.

Even when I’m living on my own and spend my entire day in my apartment, unforeseen predicaments seem to find me. Erin and I were hanging laundry on the line on the roof and one of the neighbors was helping us/filling us in on how laundry drying works here. A few minutes after we had returned to our apartment, we heard a knock on the door, and our new friend handed us a bag of frozen meat. So now we have sacrificial sheep and have no idea what to do with it. I don’t know anything about cooking meat, and if you’ll recall, we don’t even have a fridge, so we need to figure it our pronto. And as Erin put it, we can’t throw out wholly sheep. I think that would be shuma. So we’re doing some google research and we’re going to try to make stew tomorrow. Wish me luck.
