... my hair but aw well I feel better. Maybe I won’t be so stinky for my tent mate tonight. <br><br>The people on this trip are such characters. Everyone is very nice and friendly and it will be awesome to spend these months with them. I was actually quite surprised to find out that I am the fifth youngest on the trip when I thought most people would be in their early twenties. I’ll have to come up with some nick names for people for you all. Oh had okay I have one ...
Rabat, Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaër, Morocco lenahoff... was, “Easily.”) It was great having someone “in the know” whiz us around in his car and conveniently take us to all the big sites and places. As a result, we saw and did (and learned) an enormous amount today (so much so that I can only write about the highlights – much is already forgotten or was never known in the first place!).<br><br>Fez is split into three parts – Fez el-Bali, the core of the Medina (old city); Fez el-Jdid ...
Fes, Morocco annalisamurray... In all the airports I've been to in my life, Rabat had to most security guards ever. And they are NOT friendly. Don't try and practice your Arabic on them, they DON'T like it. They speak English, you speak English so stop with the hand gestures already. <br><br>No joke, one of the women was helping get people through the thermal scan seemed enervated. I thought I would be chipper even though I wasn't feeling it in the least (I needed sleep, a ...
Rabat, Morocco landerh... viva la France! We won't have a lot of time, but plan to maximize what we do have. We're going to spend a few hours doing a boat tour near the Eifel Tower, then have dinner and just walk around for a bit to see what we can see. <br><br>I am sad to be leaving Morocco, and truly can't believe the program is over already. It's been a great experience - I've stretched myself well outside my comfort zone and am happy with my ability to ...
Rabat, Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaër, Morocco cleo2471... and Mohammad says that he is tired and is going to leave and I can find my way back. Before he leaves he tells me that I owe him 200 dirham from last night. I told him that was way more than I owed and I would give him the 90 dirham I had on me, or we can meet up later and go to the bar. He agreed to the bar and told me he would come to my hotel at 10.30pm. at this point I want to continue sightseeing so I ask some more kids how to get to a certain 'mosque' they take me ...
Fes, Morocco aaronstimmel... say - I hope the picture turned out well! Also, another little boy had two cookies for a snack and offered me one. Some of the kids aren't great with the concept of sharing, so that gesture really made me happy (and the cookie was delicious!). It's amazing how quick these kids form attachments, but it makes the work that much more enjoyable. I think Olivia and I are getting pretty attached to them too. :-) <br><br>Off to Fes ...
Rabat, Morocco cleo2471... with my hair smelly smoky! :-) It was a long, full day, and I was amazed it was only day 4 of the trip. The volunteers are finding a rythem with each other, and we're forming friendships. It's amazing how comfortable everyone is so quickly, but I guess the program helps facilitate the bonding experience. It's early on, and I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I am hopeful to make some lasting friendships from this experience.
Rabat, Morocco cleo2471... fresh pressed coffee was with frothy steamed milk was just as yummy in this nation awash in mint tea. To top it off the mixed spoken and sign language service for this stand-up over-the-counter encounter was outstandingly friendly and it set us back a total of two dollars. OK. More street food should be a part of our strategy going forward. And amongst and between all this was a swirling omni-sensory overload of saffron, sandalwood, soup ...
