Update: Public baths still exist in the world. They still very much exist in Morocco, and are very weird. All I can say is, the dirtiest and cleanest experience at the same time. Moving on. For our culture class we went to an Athropology museum yesterday, and it was very interesting. They have a skull from the first known operation ever in mankind. The man's skull looked like a bunch of puzzle pieces put back together with stitches, but apparently he survived. There were also a TON of Roman sculptures and statues, which was great because while I never really consider myself someone who is interested in that period, seeing it really is breathtaking and gives you a new appreciation.
My Moroccan brother graduated from high school yesterday and there were a ton of people in the house. I didn't have anything of course, because my conversations take 3 times longer than they should and involve heavy use of the dictionary, so I kind of steered clear until the masses cleared out. In Morocco, from what I gathered speaking with the family, there is an "end of high school test" that determines whether you graduate or not. My brother was on the evening news looking his name up on the sheet of names of kids, presumably to get his results. It was pretty cool seeing him get interviewed, even though I didn't understand a word of it.
Today Staci, Pete, and I are going to take a ferry to Spain and see what's going on over there. We don't have time or plans to fly into any big cities, so we are kind of just gonna go with the flow once we get over there. I am glad to go because I've been craving a little Spanish conversation. It's funny, watching all the tv shows and listening to the radio in Arabic I think has made my brain get frustrated because it hasn't heard much of English or Spanish sounds in a few weeks. Although now I can definitely pick out the verbs, nouns, etc. in the news. I just have an extremely limited vocabulary.
Have a good weekend everybody!:)
