School went equally as well today; I have an extremely quiet class. Most of my energy is spent encouraging them to participate in discussion. After school, we took a bus through the city to see some everyday Moroccan life; Markets, cafes, boulangeries, and bookstores. In addition, we drove by the site of the old school- what a difference! It made us appreciate more the amenities we have access to at this new site.

The fruit here is unbelievable, though it must be thoroughly washed and bleached before we are able to eat it. The marketplace, Marche de l'Oasis, was brilliant in colors of red, orange, green and yellow as fruit was meticulously stacked up to the ceiling. (The top two pictures are the views from each window in my classroom. Our back window had a great view of the ocean.)
