How much does a bottle of water cost?:

Most people do not spend money on bottled water here, because it is an expense that they cannot afford. But, a 1.5 liter bottle of water costs six dirham, or about 60 cents.

What was the best meal this week?:

I really love the rotisserie chicken that is here. It's cooked over fire, nice and slow, and it's served with seasoned rice and French fries.  It's amazing! I had that for lunch yesterday.

What music did I listen to this week?:

Here in Morocco, we all listen to either Gnaoua music or Chabi music. Today during our dance class, though, I played Bollywood music. We are very interntional!

What activity was the most fun this week?:

I always like Wednesdays when the young women and I have our "sport" class. We usually do some "chair yoga", and then we do some dancing as a group. Today we danced to Bollywood music from Pakistan. It was so fun. We all laugh a lot and smile a lot.  But my absolute most favorite thing was meeting all of you! Remember I said that my cheeks actually hurt from smiling so much?

What did I read this week?:

This week I read articles about sustainability and how to help people make changes in their homes and businesses to act environmentally responsible. What do you do at home to be environmentally responsible right now? Here in Morocco, I "catch" all of my water when I am washing my face or brushing my teeth. Then that water gets used for other things, but not for drinking, obviously.

What games or sports did I play this week?:

I try to do a little yoga everyday and a little dance everyday.
