... the food agrees with me so much. <br><br>FYI my sleep mat sucks and my back hurts soooooo bad its almost unbearable. I think I may buy a blow up mattress at the super market on our way out of town. We seem to have enough room on the truck for it. I also need to pick up a big blanket because my sleeping bag will not be warm enough for the Atlas Mountains which we drive through in a week or so. I&#8217;LL FREAZE TO DEATH! <br><br>I miss you all and hope you guys are well back home.

... the class, miles behind that former dope, Sang Lee. What makes it that much harder to bear is the teacher&#8217;s kindness, which has come to feel like pity. &#8220;You can keep your book open,&#8221; Miki-sensei told me&#8230;<br> <br>&#8230;After dictation we opened our books and read out loud. Mae Lee breezed right along, as did Indri and Claude. Then came my turn. &#8220;Who&#8230;whose&#8230;book&#8230 ;is&#8230;&#8221;<br><br>&#8220;This,&# 8221; Sang Lee ...

... br><br>I accepted that Kelsey was right and that we needed to return to the market to finish shopping. It went great to my astonishment. I didn&#8217;t even end the day frustrated. We got in and out in short order, bags in hand. What had made the shopping exceedingly great was someone had been playing Yusuf Islam, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens. <br><br>We decided to get some food before I sent Kelsey off on her train back to Ifrane (not to be confused with Irfane). We ...

... of following too close, the sissies in the U.S. don&#8217;t know what tailgating is. Tailgating implies about 6 to 8 inches when going slowly and around 3 to 4 feet when moving quickly.) To wrap this up, they must buy tires ALL THE FREAKIN&#8217; TIME!<br> <br>Signing Off<br> <br>Shout-outs:<br> <br>I'm a little bit out today so here is a random one:<br> <br>Hey Arabic 201 peeps, nice going on the conversation club. Hopefully you will let me join when I get back. <br><br>

... just a type of metal link fence. The woman out of the blue swerves a little and swipes the fence. She looses part of her mirror. My cabbie yelled at her, I think it was first an &#8220;are you okay&#8221; and when she said yes, it became a &#8220;get back in your car and get out of my freakin&#8217; way.&#8221; She looked at her car (which already had a dent in the back, a tell-tale sign of a previous accident) and the construction worker on the other side of her fence ...

... a half an hour before Kendra&#8217;s return, Ziggy came to chat. We&#8217;re talking, then the British kid, James joined in. We all had a nice chat until Kendra came to get me.<br> <br> <br>When Kendra had finished she asked if I wanted to go out or have her cook. I really had no preference, so she decided that she&#8217;d like to eat at her favorite Lebanese restaurant. She used to frequent the place when she studied here last summer. The restaurant was by Bab ...

... or English. (I feel bad that I've already forgotten his name.)<br><br>Rabat is a beautiful city. But, you can't miss the obvious signs of poverty, stray cats, and the streets which appear to be the largest garbage can you can find. But, even coupled with these unfortunate attributes, this city is amazing. <br><br>It was warm with that gorgeous sun beating down on you, humid due to the nearness of the ocean, the palm trees add to the ...

... br>Sleeping with a fan on (and without ear plugs)<br>TV<br>Me time<br>Having a bathroom all to myself<br><br>I would like to thank everyone who has supported me in this adventure during the months leading up to it, as well as while I've been here. I hope you enjoyed reading this blog as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I feel very fortunate and am happy I decided to take advantage of this opportunity. It's the type of experience ...

... down the aisle single-file, with people staring at us trying to figure out what we were doing. (so were we) We located a conductor who advised us we needed to get off the train and reboard in the 1st class car, as it was not possible to walk from one section to the other. So, we had to SCOOT when the train came to a stop at the next station. We rushed up the crowded aisle carrying all our gear, apologizing along the ...

... outside in the street as well as on the lawn. Nearly all of the women are veiled, to varying degrees, except for us. One of the CCS staff members came along to show us where to go, which was comforting. We got a surprise upon arrival. We are working in the Asthma ward, and expected to be working at a single table tucked in the hallway, with about 6-8 kids. Well, a new play area opened today in the ward, and it drew over 20 kids! Ages ranged from 2 ...
