Moussems and civic holidays and fasting, oh my!

After returning home from training on Monday of last week, life has been a blur of activity.

This week, it turns out, will be no different.

I'll be about 70km down the road working at a health booth for a local festival on Monday and Tuesday, and then for Thursday and Friday's civic holidays, I'll be at the beach for a few days of sun, scarves and getting yelled at for wearing a burquini in the water.

(I don't actually own a hijabi swimsuit, but if I did, I'd wear it proudly in France)

Then, friends, Friday/Saturday starts Ramadan! Posting will be either very limited or much more regular, as I'm limiting myself to once a week at the internet. It's a month of spiritual and self-reflection (and maybe a quick trip up to Rabat), and I plan on doing that from the comfort of my food-free abode. More details of the Moroccan Ramadan experience will come as we get deeper into the month.

Until then... hang on to your hats!
