life in Dar Bouazza...

Organic produce, organic yogurt and even organic Moroccan style Kefir!

Trish took me to a local market that sells organic fruits and veggies. Apparently, the King of Morocco is quite a businessman and is cashing in on the organic frenzy in Europe. He has organic farms nearby the beach town I'm living in and while the majority is exported, sells a certain amount here at really cheap prices. The king is also into honey, organic dairy and a few other "higher" end food products. I was excited to find that I will be able to keep up with my fermented foods here- they have really nice yogurt, and yesterday I discovered that there is a fermented dairy product called Leben that is very similar to kefir. I got a banana flavored one and an organic plain carton. Yum!

I slept much better last night. It's amazing what a space heater and a couple glasses of red wine will do! I hung out in the evening with a teacher from the American School in Casablanca who lives next door. He's a surfer which is why he is living here-- unfortunately he recently messed up his ankle playing soccer and is in a cast, so I won't be getting any surfing lessons.

I'm finding that I need to do most of my yoga once the sun is shining on my patio, otherwise it is pretty cold with the ocean breeze. Here is a photo of me doing yoga and a few of my home here. But each day-- walks on the beach, yoga, pilates, reading, some work, playing with the kids and lots of yummy food and fruit!

Had pesto for dinner! And chocolate cake!
