hello!

i am still alive.
as usual i dont have much time to update. blog is not working out as well as i had hoped unfortunately...

basically,after orientation in rabat, we went to a few historic cities for a couple days each and rode camels in the sahara which was cool. now we are about 11 days into a 2 week rural homestay. really rural. its a little hard for me. luckily i got a day off and thats why i am able to check email now. our village is in the hills, on farm land. breathtakingly beautiful. there are no toilets and we sleep on the floor on rugs. but the people are very nice even though we don't speak their language, and the kids are sweet. we are cooking and dancing and weaving and studying moroccan arabic and teaching english. lots of people are sick, including myself. but our next stop is the beach city of essouira which i am really looking fwd to.

in other news, i am getting things published.

plus i heard that vin diesle is gay. really?

  1. Hmm - I posted a comment but now it's gone! Oh well.

    I know the homestay is a great part of the learning experience but I'll also be glad when you're well again. It must be tough to be sick in the village but I'm also glad to hear that you're drinking in some real beauty there. Hope you get to take some pictures.

    Enjoy the beach. I'm looking forward to hearing more and seeing you soon!
    Love you - Mom
