It's been awhile, I know. I'll make up for it, I promise.
This past Tuesday was the Prophet's birthday, a huge holiday when extended family gets together, eats a ton of food (mainly cookies and candy) and celebrates. I spent the day at my homestay aunt and uncle's house and it was really fun--but caused my first wave of intense homesickness since being here. Seeing the extended family talk and laugh made me miss my own family so much.
Also, intense sugar hangover. I watched my homestay uncle put 10 HUGE cubes of sugar (four times the size of normal ones) in ONE pot of tea.
My homestay cousin has a pretty voice and everyone made her sit down and sing for us!

A little taste of Moroccan family life.
Love you!
