While wandering through the medina in Rabat, Julie and I happened upon a shopping center with carpets, pottery and other items. Julie has taken a couple Moroccan Arabic lessons after school and took the opportunity to practice her skills with the carpet guy.
After agreeing a on a price for Julie's first Moroccan rug, the carpet guy invited us to have tea with him and his son. Over traditional mint tea, they helped us learn how to say "I am happy" (Ana farhana) in Moroccan Arabic, among other useful phrases. I love Moroccan hospitality! The tea was delightful and we were happy to make new friends. I may have to take a trip back to Rabat when I buy my next rug.
