In previous posts, I have alluded to the fact that it has been raining a lot in Morocco for the past couple of months. This has led to lots of flooding and entire villages have been wiped out. Some volunteers have seen people lose all their possessions and occasionally death. Lots of rain (and snow) have fallen upon my town but nothing major has happened.
Yesterday, it started snowing heavily. So I did what I usually do when I don't want to be in my house along; I went to my host family's. I sat around the fire and read a book. After a couple of hours, I turned on the TV. To my surprise and pleasure, the Daily Show came on. Ali, the now 15-month old, started pointing to the TV when the guest, Barack Obama, appeared. I wish my camera had been with me.
Just this week, Ali said his first word, 'Baba,' which is oh-so-close to 'Obama.' For about an hour, I practiced the word 'Obama' with Ali. But there was no luck. Maybe with more time, it will become his second word.
