some images of our new land...

Zac and Malakai had a long weekend for the celebration of the end of Ramadan (comparable to Christmas for us:) and we got to go on a retreat with around 40 other people from our organization. It was great to get to know the people that we will be working with a little better, as well as explore a little of the Atlas mountains! One day we hiked through some Berber villages (which are made of mud) and saw some beautiful scenery.






















































































































On the way back we stopped in Marrekech for a couple hours and saw some monkeys, snake charmers, and did a little sight seeing.














The store keeper stopping for some yummy Moroccan mint tea.
(Notice all the individual diapers stacked behind him.)
The local meat market...

One of many taxi options
