For me it's about global reality. The rest of my family have experienced this, and finally I am too. And I guess I understand the excitement better too. Seeing people that live so differently and knowing that they are the global majority.
Yesterday we were taken to the countryside by Fatouma, our house keeper. She took us on a local bus about 45 minutes inland to her family compound. There we met her sister, her mother, and a few other women that shared the compound. One room for each family. One window for each room. Making Argan oil to trade for food. Goats, sheep, dogs, camels (camels!) and a donkey or two. I was struck by the bond the women felt, and the hospitality they showed us alien strangers. I guess it gave me a new world view, or at least a personal experience of the world view I knew was there.
Morocco is amazing - More to follow!
