Rain, a lot, but really nice days in between



It's the rainy season, which my students inform me is two months late this year.  They arrive for class all bundled up--gloves, scarves, furry hoods, sweaters, and coats, while I wear just a light sweater.  They think I'm used to really cold weather, but Maryland is probably just a little colder than Rabat.

But in between to rain, we have some beautiful days.  We have walked along the beach (more precisely the top of the coastal cliffs, and visited the botanical gardens which are about 20 minutes from out apartment.

The beach, with the ubiquitous cat.

The waves below the cliffs.

The birds on the top of the cliffs.

The fish restaurant.  No grilled fish on a weekday noon, but the fried fish plate had squid, shrimp, and two types of whole fish.  We got there early, but it filled up rapidly.

The botanical gardens.  The cactus section is our favorite, but the entire garden is being cleaned out, ready for spring.
