Medina

Yesterday, we wandered the Medina in Rabat, which means city in Arabic but refers to the old part of the city now. It rained so the streets were very slick, hadn't rained in a long time. Younis loved the Medina. He went racing down the narrow streets. Total joy for him and slight anxiety producing moments for us running after him. Luckily it wasn't too crowded.

Afterwards, we went out for dinner at a great restaurant near our apartment, Ouazzane, where we had harira, a delicious Moroccan soup. We sat outside under the awning and watched the lightening and thunder. It was warm rain by Seattle standards, chilly by Moroccan standards. It rained again this morning, but now is beautiful and sunny. This part I could definitely get used to.

  1. Fascinating reading on your blog Danielle and informative, now I’ll look at Seattle-area’s “Medina” and know a little more about it.. Say what’s up to Imad and the kiddo – he and you guys look great. -- MM
