I’ve been back in Guelmim for a few days and have gotten used to life again, how quickly did I forget that if I have a meeting two blocks away, I should leave two hours early to make it on time because I’ll have to stop in every store on the way to say my greetings and be stopped by every person on the way and asked how my health, family and overall being are being. And while it may be cold and snowy in Boston right now, it’s nice and dusty here in Guelmim. Even though my windows were shut during my vacation, I encountered a dust-infested house upon my arrival. Yuck.

L’3id l’kabir (the big holiday, the one where a bajillion sheep are slaughtered) is Friday and I’ll be glad when Friday night comes because these bajillion rooftop-fettered sheep keep me up at night. But, people are excited about the holiday. Saturday when I went to the souq is was FULL and there were sheep EVERYWHERE. On top of taxis, in wheel barrows, being unhappily led by children. I have nice pictures from last year, wanna see ‘em?

So getting this site back up is a little more arduous that I thought. The only thing I will have lost are my posts from September 2004 - December 2004, when I switched from blogger to wordpress. I hope to have it happily back soon. Any design/color suggestion?
