Beautiful Green Morocco and Ms. W Has Arrived

Bonjour,

It's springtime in Morocco, which means the countryside has become even more beautiful. After all of the rain, the next couple of months are likely to be filled with flowers and lots of green. Here is a picture, taken from a moving car window, of the countryside. As Amy says, it looks like Ireland here.

Speaking of Ms. W., she's been here with us for a week now, searching with me (with mixed results) for good vegetarian food. Last weekend, we traveled to Moulay Idriss (a holy city atop two different hills, which had been largely closed to non-Muslims until recently) and Volubilis (extensive Roman ruins near Moulay Idriss and Meknes with intact stone mosaics). This gives you a taste of Volubilis.


Amy also got to meet our friends Khahil and Lamia (I'm sure I am misspelling Lamia's name) on Saturday, when we had coffee, tea and crepes at their home. Here is Amy, Lamia and me at Lamia's lovely apartment. The other picture is Lamia, Khahil and their boys, some of our good new friends in Morocco (Tarek is one of Tommy's buddies at school).

Finally, here are some pictures of us goofing off after dinner, as Anna, Tommy and me make Amy listen to our repeated renditions of our favorite scene from Austin Powers. Most inappropriate dinner conversation.















As Anna says, TTFN.
