The Joys of Everyday Life in Fes
Yesterday we had an eventful day! After darija class, the students visited a local artist. To everyone's surprise, this local artist, Abdelkhalek Boukhars, owns a beautiful and unique palace. He was actually written up in the Sept. '02 edition of Conde Nast magazine. After the grand tour, he explained his art and inspirations.
In the afternoon, we engaged in another session with Ahli, a local orphanage for street children. We continued our art project and the students drew themselves in the future - where and who they want to be. All the children presented their drawings at the end of the session.
Tomorrow, we head to the ancient Roman ruins in Volubilis, the pilgrimage site of Moulay Idriss and the historic city of Meknes.
