A Little Bit of Culture.

Today we had cooking lessons & Moroccan music...one of my favorite cultural activity days! We learned to make one of my favorite foods (and WORST for you) that I've eaten here. We made little fried pancakes I guess you could call them...and despite my discovery that they are just flour slathered in butter & oil that are then fried, I still had 2 for breakfast this morning. They're just too good :) Here are some photos of the process.

And last is Stephanie showing her tea-pouring skills after we learned how to make Moroccan tea.

After cooking lessons we had some Moroccan musicians come and play for us. We were all sitting in the living area waiting for their arrival when we heard drums in the distance. It gradually got louder and louder as they approached the house and they walked into our living room pounding their drums & tambourines and blowing a horn. It was awesome! They played for a little over an hour with a tea break in the middle. They got everybody dancing...even Abdellah, Khadija & Abdu. Pictures are below:
