Il Florilegio Circus
I don’t have a lot of photos from the circus because there was a scary-looking circus employee going around warning people who took photos or videos, but here are a few, along with a Youtube video that gives a good overview.

Stoney Bread
Another follow-up to my previous wordy post…the delicious bread that was cooked in a wood-fired oven, which arrived at the tables with the stones from the oven still embedded in it. Luckily I didn’t break a tooth. Speaking of teeth, Norah lost a tooth in Morocco and the tooth fairy made a special trip to leave 50 dirhams under her pillow.

Moroccan Hamster Balls
That’s a blog post title I never expected to write. I didn’t even know they had hamsters in Morocco.
By request, here are some photos of the giant hamster balls I mentioned in a previous post. We wanted to make sure the kids got the full cultural experience of Morocco.
Norah in the deflated ball:
Aliya’s ball being blown up with the leaf blower (how’s the air quality in there?):
Aliya starting to master the art of standing up in a hamster ball (how do the hamsters do it so instinctively?):
A crowd begins to form, watching the nutso American kids (Adlani’s in the blue ball):
