Glad to see you re blogging again! Are dialects of Syria and Morocco so different that it's difficult to be understood? Thanks for the warning about fish guts, though, I must say, I wouldn't have tried them anyway...
Ahlan Wa Sahlan! I have loved following your travels through the pictures you've been putting up the last few weeks. It's such a beautiful part of the world! I have a cousin that just got back from an adventure in which he assisted a friend of his in sailing from puerto rico to spain. When he got back he raved about how beautiful the southern Spain and northern Moroccan area is (they went on mini road trip before going home). He took arabic in college and knows enough to be able to converse well, but, said he had some trouble at first speaking to Moroccans because of the difference in words and the way they pronounce certain words. Are you running into anything similar right now? I look forward to hearing of your travels in person and I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful pictures. Shukran, Jimmy C
