Quick update


The first part (of four) of a Moroccan Iftar.
Another great couple of weeks!
- I passed the midterm exam, thankfully (although grades don't technically count for anything here).
- Went to Marrakech
- Hiked to an unbelievably gorgeous waterfall near Chefchaouen (a few pictures below)
- Gone to several Moroccan houses to have Iftar (the meal at sunset to break the fast)
A beautiful view over Tangier on a really clear day

- Swam and played soccer a lot

I'm leaving for another trip to Larache, which is a small coastal town south of Tangier. There is going to be a play tonight about the revolution in Tunisia, so I'm heading there with some speaking partners, other CLS students, and a couple of the directors.

The waterfall and swimming hole at the end of the 2-hour (easy-moderate) hike to Akchour. It was incredible, although the water was freezing!
Spain in the background!


Then I'm taking a bus Sunday morning to go to Casablanca for a quick tour - namely, the colossal Hassan II mosque.

On the way back from the waterfall. We saw a group of monkeys in the trees, which was pretty neat.
I'll try to upload some Marrakech photos soon!!!
