Sept. 16 - Thursday - My roommate's birthday today!!










Hello from Casa!

What a special day!! It was Marcia's birthday AND the FIRST day it has rained since we got here!!
It was soooo hot and muggy the past few days, so when the storm came rolling in this afternoon, we heard thunder and the whole place cooled off it was



WONDERFUL!
Several of us took Marcia out for her dinner. It was quite a delightful surprise.....we were told it was a restaurant behind a gas station on our way home that wasn't much to look at, but had good food! Wow!!! It was like a banquet hall....chandeliers and all!!

As usual, we weren't sure what we had ordered, but after a long day....we were game for most anything and it was a terrific meal! The first course was yummy flat bread and Moroccan salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and lovely spices). The second course was "chips" (french fries) and a large plate of "meat" (a little of all kinds...when the menu says meat.....they just mean literally ALL kinds of meat!!) and popcorn shrimp.

There is Marcia doing a wonderful job of pouring the "Moroccan Tea" for all of us!

The last photo is of my little friend, McKenna. Marcia and I were kid-sitting earlier for McKenna and her brother, Sawyer. They are kids of a wonderful couple in HR that were out of town. McKenna came to my room (that's where the photo is taken) every morning to help me out until the bell would ring.....wonderful young gal!
