Morocco is a monarchy with a parliament. This is a picture of the King, his wife, and his son. The King's picture is displayed everywhere demonstrating the high regard that the Moroccan people have for him. This very large and attractive portrait is in the lobby of our hotel along with some other historical family portraits.
Kristin Leboe (on the left) is our IREX Teachers for Global Classrooms (TGC) representative who takes great care of us. On the right is Kawthar Slaitane who is the TGC Moroccan coordinator who has planned our scheduled meetings, school, and cultural visits. This was taken at one of our many amazing meals.
This is a picture of a Moroccan salad. There are all kinds of cooked vegetables, olives, with eggplant in the center, As a vegetarian I do quite well when this dish is served. The large platter is placed in the center of the table and everyone helps themselves. Bread is served with every meal. Usually after this dish is another main course usually with meat, chicken, or fish and after that is dessert and sweetened mint tea.
When the management of the hotel restaurant learned that do not eat meat, they kindly began to make me separate dishes at lunch and dinner. This is couscous (a grain that is a staple here in Morocco) with vegetables. The servings are so large that I could barely eat a quarter of it!
