Almost forgot the important stuff:
The King of Morocco announced a new constitution last night will be put to a referendum July 1st. At one point during dinner last night, we noticed everyone was looking at the TV. Later we found out that the King had been on TV making a live speech. Theres supposed to be protests tomorrow, as some think he doesn't go far enough. The new constitution reduces the kings power over Parliament, but he remains in full control of the military and spiritual aspects of the government.
One other thing the new constitution will do is officially recognize the Berber language. "Oosted'd" (Professor) Mostafa, who is a Berber, seemed very happy about this.
Back to unimportant things, Mostafa is quite the comedian. He has told us quite a few jokes, and gently pokes fun at us occasionally.
