Little Morroco

Heather and I spent the day in Little Morroco on the border of Scharbeek where we have been working. We loved the food, the people, and the music. Heather said it was more fun to hang out down there than sightseeing in Brussels. One of the things that struck us was all the kids. We've rarely seen couples with more than two children. But this neighborhood was teaming with kids and young people. The traditional Europeans have a low birthrate while the immigrant population is booming. I wonder what the demographics will look like in 100 years.

We ate hummus and kabobs at an Egyptian restaurant and had tea at a Morrocan tea house. Everything reminded us of our Algerian neighbors in Wichita.

Tomorrow we have presentations summarizing what we have learned. We have made incredible friendships here and though we are looking forward to going home, we will miss the community we have experienced.
