Goat filled trees and goat cous cous

Today we had our hair and make-up done, had Henna tatoos, drove a taxi, got married and were taught 1 - 10 in Arabic by a 6 year old, all in Mostapha's front room. His 4 daughters are very interested in us and the fact that we don't speak the same language doesn't seem to matter. We have spent the last few days entertaining them in Inezgane at Mostapha's mother's house and are now in Tiznit at his house.

Yesterday was the last day of Ramadan so today we have eaten huge amounts of food, mostly with our fingers. For lunch we had goat cous cous which was a first for us! Cous cous is particularly difficult to eat with your fingers. I gave up and resorted to using a spoon. It seems that in Morocco it is rude to refuse food even if you are full up and because we are guests we're given twice as much as everyone else. For someone who doesn't eat a huge amount I'm finding this quite hard!

Tomorrow is a holiday so we're going to the beach before we start work properly on Wednesday. Oh, I forgot to mention that we saw a tree full of goats on our bus journey from Essaouira to Agadir! Unfortunately the bus was going too fast for me to get a photo but I'm hopeful there will be some more goat-filled trees in the village.
