67 people left Philadelphia for Morocco on Monday 14th. We made it to Casablanca about 9AM on Wednesday. Took a bus to Mehdya a beach town on the Atlantic Coast outside Rabat. He got fed like we had not eaten for days with great Moroccan food-salad, bread, fish, baked beef with prunes (delicious) called Tajine for the cooking vessel it comes in. I did not get a picture of the top but will definitely eat this dish again. After lunch we had a welcome show from local musicians then orientation and schedule review with the Country Director. A great show and program. For dinner we had a local soup, Hrira, again awesome and pasta with spiced beef. The beach here was very crowded with Moroccans, camels and horses walking by. Quite a change from Florida's alligators and snakes. Wini, there are lots of friendly cats for you to adopt. It is hot, but not worse than Florida. Called Ashlyn in Argentina and Mom on Skype. They were happy to hear I was OK. Enjoy the photo. Will send more later. Takes a long time to load. :)
