The interfaith club organized an event were a bunch of us went out to a small co-operative outside of the city. Most of us rode a donkey they had there. I have been told that the donkey must have been tired after because from the pictures it looks like the donkey and I are about the same size.
They also had a bunch of rugs that we could buy for 300 dirhams (about $30). I bought a nice blue one that I have at home now, and plan to use as a beach blanket. A picture and a short biography of the woman who made it is attached to the blanket as well, which I think is cool.
After everyone got their donkey ride and bought their rug the people at the co-operative made us tea. It was good tea, and it was really nice of them to make it. After that, we all went back to the university.
The same group organized a chance for us to visit the mosque at the university. We got to observe during prayer time, and then after we had tea and cookies. After the tea and cookies, we all sat in a circle, and the Imam said a few words. The Imam then answered a few questions that people had about Islam and anything else that was relevant. I really enjoyed this experience, and I am glad I took the opportunity to visit.
These were just a couple of things I did that were just a couple hours, but I thought were worth mentioning.
Thanks for reading,
