Back in Fes After a Weekend in Asilah
We had a wonderful weekend in Asilah - enjoying the laid back feeling of this quaint place. We spent our days exploring the medina. We also enjoyed the breeze in our hair during an eventful ride on a horse cart out to Paradise Beach. Most of us braved the slightly chilly waters of the Atlantic Ocean (on the other side). We finished our stay with our first experiences at the public baths, or hammams. Everyone embraced this cultural experience central to Moroccan life. The students are currently pursuing their Independent Study Projects (ISPs). This week will be filled with more darija lessons, meetings with ISP mentors, and an excursion to Meknes, Volubilis and Moulay Idriss.
