A moving – and very real – short film. Very well done.

the cous

Ever since Susan & I went to Morocco in Febuary we have been all about the cous. Though attempts to find couscous as good as we had in Tangier after we got back proved fruitless. We’ve both even tried making it at home and sharing our experiences – as much as possible from across the pond. And so I’m sure she will be a wee bit envious when she sees the gorgeous Moroccan lunch (including couscous!) that Sara treated us to at As-Sawirah yesterday …
saturday errands

Saturday morning errands are one of my favourite things. And in the HEAT of summer (and yes, it is still summer and still HOT here) it is always best to get out early in order to get errands done. Which is what Nog & I attempted to do yesterday but then got waylaid by a neighbourhood scandal. Apparently someone in our very own building has been dropping their garbage from their balcony, and leaving it to lie where it may. Or so I was told. Upon further investigation – calling all tenants downstairs for an emergency meeting – it seemed that nobody was guilty.

I met Paloma through Agustín and she was also my student for awhile. She’s a bit older than me and is the mother of my favourite chatterbox, Bosco, who is going to be coming to Zahara today. But I am getting ahead of myself…

Yesterday I read this article called Can You Handle 24 Hours of Solitude? … and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to do this. In fact, it’s taken some time to get used to being alone on holiday here in Zahara. I know some of you think this is like a dream come true, but I came here not just to spend some time at the beach and take care of Mini – it was also a personal challenge. I really wasn’t sure how I’d feel being on my own for a whole ten days. And now it’s day four …
