Fes-ed
We arrived last night just in time to experience the streets of the Medina opening up to the sounds of the night life during Ramadan. A band of men paraded through the narrow, sweaty streets banging loud, deep rhythms while younger boys danced with metal symbols clacking, everyone was passing each other shoulder to shoulder, men at a nearby bar cheered for FC Barcelona (we think), and we ate an incredible dish of couscous and chicken and tajine and chicken. I mean, really good, served with freshly baked bread and mint tea, where half the glass is stuffed with rich mint leaves and a quarter of it with sugar. A spicy scene to wrap us up in for the first night.... and this was all on the edge of the Medina.
The students are working on ISP's, and we met with them today to see where our tech components could best enhance their projects. Everyone gave us a rundown on their projects, and we're excited to start working on incorporating some sound and image into their projects and get them out and give them some legs. We'll leave it to them to fill you in on the details.
Tomorrow we're off to Asilah, but right now we're off to stuff ourselves with some excellent spice.
