Journal Entry:
Went to visit some friends of Amy's in Tinjdad (the village I got dropped off in by my parents tour bus when I was on my way to Goulmima). Zora and Moha and their family were excellent and entertaining hosts. I took me a while to figure out what was strange about them - they're all always smiling - pretty unusual for a Moroccan family. Amy had asked Zora to make her a rug and it was finished - it's rather shaggy, but still beautiful. Actually I found the back of the rug (where the shag is tied on) stunning.

Back in Goulmima we (well, Amy) tried to make couscous for diner. The vegetables turned out awesome, and the couscous tasted good, but the consistency was a little strange.
