The moment I sat up in bed this morning, Fan passed me his phone, which was opened to a Chinese-to-English translator with the words “to have diarrhea” written in it. I got the picture and took his homework to class for him.
The teacher who looks like my grandpa got a haircut over the weekend, so he doesn’t look as quite as similar now, I’ll still try to get a picture tomorrow.
At the ALIF Center, they have started serving lunch, which is great because I was getting tired of choosing between McDonalds, Burger King, and Pizza Hut. Today I ordered a banana milkshake and received a glass of lukewarm milk with a banana blended into it. It’s in moments like these that I miss Wisconsin. That said, the menu also has an apple milkshake and an avocado milkshake, so I guess it could have been worse. Luckily, I also ordered beans, which turned out to be very tasty, and, since this is Morocco, the order of beans also came with three pieces of bread, so I did not go hungry.
Iftar today had a dish which my host mom called an omelet, but which was definitely an egg-bake. Also, it had more potato than egg, so maybe it was a potato-bake. Nonetheless, it was very good.
After Iftar, I met two other students at the ALIF Riad and we began planning some trips for our weekends. The hope is that next weekend, we can visit the Barbary Macaque sanctuary (the barbary macaque is a large monkey found only in Morocco) and during our four-day-weekend in June, we can head to Tangier. During this weekend, I may also take a ferry across the straight of Gibraltar to Spain; I’ve already reached out to my friend Pablo to see it he would want to meet up. I still need to plan excursions to Marrakesh (the largest city in Morocco) and Chefchaouen (the blue city [look up pictures, it’s beautiful]).

Hi Adam – we are entertained each night reading your Blog -you are doing a great job of keeping us all informed. Keep up the good work! (By the way Grandpa has started tanning, so that he’ll look like your teacher when you come to Wisconsin.). We are going thru a “heat” spell – today was 92 and very humid! Is it humid in Fes? Yesterday we went to a Brewer game(they won). The Brewers are in
first place and we hope they stay there! Can you get any news from the states? I do hope you and Fen shake the diareah soon because this is no weather for diarrhea! Will sign off for now – stay healthy and enjoy your time in Fes. Grandma & Grandpa. ❤️❤️

Hey Grandma and Grandpa, sorry it took so long to respond, I can’t seem to figure the comments section out. Fes has been pretty consistently in the low 70’s since I’ve been here, and you’ll hear no complaining from me on that. Internet is fairly slow here, but I usually get a chance to check the news a couple times a day, so I usually know when big thing happen (I think). Fan and I are feeling better now, thanks for the concern. My teacher got a haircut, so he doesn’t look as much like grandpa now, but I’ll still try to get a picture. I hope you’re both doing well, and I look forward to catching up when I get back.
-Adam
