What was the best meal this week?:

The best meal I had this week was a pasta salad with tuna, corn, mayonaise and onions.  I ate it on a hot day, so the cold pasta tasted great.  

What music did I listen to this week?:

I listened to a lot of Taylor Swift and Hozier.  Since it is Ramadan, people in my town do not play music during the day either for religious reasons or because people might be sleeping, so I did not hear much Moroccan music.  

What activity was the most fun this week?:

My favorite activity of the week was either going for a little walk in the mountains around my town or going to eat at my neighbor's house.  The walk was lovely, and I love to be outside, and my neighbor's food was delicious.
