I am happy to have this host family they are some good people. Next time i post i will try to get some up of the whole family during the end of Ramadan festivities.
The end of Ramadan is called Leeeeeid and its a large celebration where the drink of choice is tea... It was funny because all the volunteers were talking about who had the most that day. I thought I won with my 10 cups but a fellow volunteer from chicago sent me a text later that day that he had taken down a good 15 cups!!! My favorite part of the day was lunch when I was invited to go outside the Mosque and eat with all the men in our small village. The men from each family brought with them a table, a tajine (a type of casarole cooked in a pot with various vegtables and some type of meat), along with some bread. Once we got to the Mosque we set up the food and after a little discussion we dug in using pieces of bread to grab the food with our right hand (dont use the left hand because in this culture that hand is the cleaning hand, and thats all I'm gonna say about that...but if you read my last post im sure you will understand). After each family finished the meat from there tajine they got up and went around from table to table eating with each family. I was hesitant at first but soon enough i too was swooping in like a seagal.
Thats all I got for now its time for me to go back to the peace corps training hotel we have a 10 o'clock curfue...
Cheers
