End of Ramadan


I celebrated the end of Ramadan by taking my first ever solo train trip to Casablanca to go with a branch member, Brittni, to visit a convent.  She had met these adorable nuns in a French class they all took together in Casablanca..  This convent is in a very up-scale part of the city.  They have a garden, play Scrabble for an hour each day, enjoy their beautiful chapel, and just generally radiate the most peaceful auras.  Brittni is from Salt Lake City and teaches English in a private language school.
  

This minstrel band were playing outside our apartment.  I love their costumes!



We also joined our fellow Rabatians down on the beach for general jocularity, street food, carnival games and the parading of new clothes!


Henna-ed fingertips as well as a fancy hair doodad.  I'll bet the necklace is also new.


Little sisters all decked out!  Everyone gets new clothes for Ramadan!  Their father very proudly told us that he has 4
children!





This little gal's idea of the perfect night was to dig into these escargot!


I mean...come on.
