"The Importance of Being Earnest"











The following pictures are from the production my students put on last week. They did a fantastic job and I was so proud of them! They all looked very sharp in their costumes and we had about 60-70 people in the audience cheering them on. All in all it was, I hope, a great experience for them. A few of my students discovered they have gifts in memorization and acting. It was a good experience for me too, and all quite incredible considering I have no acting or directing experience! I had a few other people helping me out with the drama fortunately.

Asilah, Morocco






The pictures below are from a lovely May weekend trip I took with several friends. The medina walls in Asilah are often decorated with murals, as you see in a few of the pictures.

This picture is taken from the harrowing grande taxi ride we took to Paradise Beach, suggested by the Lonely Planet. It was quite an adventure!

Asilah


Asilah is a quaint little city up on the norther Atlantic coast of Morocco. The small medina was built by the Portuguese and the beaches are beautiful. I had a great weekend there recently with some friends.
