Thoughtful Thursday

After our very busy wednesday, we had a nice laid back thursday.

We spent most of the day at CCFA. We made and presented a powerpoint to a french class about living in America and/or Merrimack. They were kind of rowdy, but I think they liked it. We played a game where a CCFA student would talk about a subject like food and the culture that exists in Morocco and then one of us would do the same about the United States.

It was really interesting and we had a good time. They sang and danced and rapped for us, and in turn we slightly reluctantly sang for them too :P.

We have learned a lot of Moroccan culture during our stay in Marrakech because we have been able to get to know these kids better.

We were separated that night and all did different things.

Hannah and Chase had a great time with Omayma and her sister Chaimae walking around Marrakech.

Bashir took Remy and Matt out for late night McDonald's.

And Mehdi brought Imane, Marita, and Jeff to his night class teacher's English class. For 3 hours we laughed at them trying to speak English and then they got to laugh at us speaking Arabic. We had a really good time asking them questions about their lives and it was fun to teach them about American culture as well.

We don't have any pictures for today, but many stories that will hopefully stay with us forever! Already we miss Omayma, Chaimae, Bashir, and Mehdi and wish that we could have spent more time with them. If we ever return to Morocco, we will be sure to get in touch with them :)

I'm adding this on because I just found a picture and I thought this post could use it...

This is us in french class! I think Matt was talking about American music.
