14 Moroccan Days and Nights

Today was my first day in country. First impressions...the people are really friendly, the food is delicious and some of the architecture is intricate and beautiful. It looks a lot like Latin America in some respects.

Something new I learned today was that some Muslims in  Morocco believe in saints. From my understanding it sounds a lot like Catholic saints with the exception of the images, as Muslims do not believe in imitating the human form. Kawthar our host is full of information and you can feel her pride and love for her country. Her enthusiasm for  is quiet contagious.


We were treated to a traditional Moroccan meal. Everyone shares from one large dish. The meal consisted of salad, soup, chicken (this is eaten with your hands), a fruit platter and a traditional Moroccan mint tea.

  1. Yummy, did you learn any Moroccan cuisine to try at home? Did it taste of the food remind you of your culture.

  2. I might get a cook book. Most of the food is similar to what I eat it is just presented in a different way.
