!السلام عليكم
Today is obviously Friday and I had class from 8 until 12. I came home after class and my sister Nouhayla took me to the Bounania Madresa/ Mosque. SubhanAllah it was a wonderful experience. I noticed that the elder women were in front and as you went back the women got younger. I had seen the Medresa in the walking tour of the old city, but it was amazing to actually pray Friday prayer. I understood parts of the Khutba خطبة, because it was in Fus-ha and not in Dharija. SubhanAllah what an empowering feeling. After the prayer, I shook hands with the women at the mosque ( مسجد or جامع). It was a beautiful sight. I then returned to my house and ate Couscous with my Moroccan family. I practiced speaking with my sister and mom, played UNO for a while and showed them my pictures. I also made a map of the places I want to visit in Rabat and Casablanca tomorrow. I am going to Casablanca and Rabbat tomorrow! I am scared, because only one of my friends is going with me tomorrow, and my map savvy friends are going to another city in Morocco. Oh well, I need to one thing everyday that scared me :) .
After I woke, my sister Nouhayla and I did my homework and after Maghrib prayer, we went out in to city. My sister Nouyhala is 11 and she knows Fus-ha better than I do! She has a lot of patience with me. She really is great. We went to my mom's salon and played with bubbles! We also visited Bab Bejloud, the city fortress and the markets. They were beautiful at night! Now after I eat, I will sleep, because I have to take the 6:50 train in the morning.
Also, I totally translated this blog post in to Arabic for my sister :) !

Medresa Bounania at the tour!
The room where the Imam leads Friday prayer.
Outside the door of the room where I prayed Friday prayer. No worries, took this picture on the tour not before/after prayer :) .
