Waiting in the conference room for Clinton.
Disclaimer 1: The following content is solely my opinion and does not represent the Peace Corps or the United Stated of America. Disclaimer 2: Family and other loved ones, rest assured I am still in one piece and none the worse for wear (see below). It feels like it has been forever since I have sat down to write a new blog. This is partly to blame on my computer which pretty much stopped working for all of October and up until this week. It was my last semblance of home, no pictures, no music, no movies, no crutch. It turned [View Full Entry]

Americans giving Ramadan a shot
Disclaimer: The following content is my own opinion and does not reflect that of the Peace Corps or the United States of America. It seems like it has been such a long time since the last blog and that so much has happened though I do not have much to show for it pictorially. As soon as September hit it started to feel like fall here. There are a few rainy days when it is pretty bitter cold, but for the most part the days are sunny and warm and the nights are really cold. So far I have been fine [View Full Entry]

Disclaimer: As usual pay no mind to what I say as it does not reflect the view of the Peace Corps, the United States of America, or any such nonsense… Waking up on a rooftop in Fes at 6am is an experience. I swear the sun is bigger here. Not hotter just huge. At first I was really confused as to where I was. The sun just above the horizon of the Old Medina kind of left me dumb struck. After a good 5 minutes of gawking I look around and see the rooftop littered with peaceful looking volunteers just like [View Full Entry]

July Madness Africa
Disclaimer: the following content is solely my personal view and in no way reflects the point of view of the United States of America nor the Peace Corps. Warning for the squeamish_there is a picture of a butchered goat. So much has happened recently that this is going to be a two month installation of my blog. I think I have finally realized for better or worse this is going to be my life for the next year and a half or so. I feel like I have finally found the rhythm of life here which makes understanding the language and [View Full Entry]

After swearing in with my training group. My friend made my dress!
Disclaimer: The following content is solely my opinion and is not intended to represent the view of the Peace Corps. Once things settle down a bit I would like to do a day in the life blog, but since it is starting to get real, a lot has happened. I graduated so to speak and moved to my final work site. The feelings associated with this move have come and gone and have been replaced with the adjustment of leaving behind the English language. My site is gorgeous. I haven’t quite wrapped my head around it yet, no matter how much [View Full Entry]

My teacher and I on a hike.
Disclaimer: This blog and all of it's contents are solely mine and do not in any way reflect the views of the Peace Corps or the United States of America. My training is almost finished so I am savoring my last week in my host site. I feel a mix between wanting to stay here and readiness to move onto my final site. My family here is wonderful, I couldn’t have asked for a better Moroccan mother and sister. They are so patient with my language and domestic skills. I have learned how to purify water, cook chicken tajine, make bread, [View Full Entry]

Disclaimer: these are purely my own views and do not reflect that of the United States of America nor the Peace Corps. Hello Everybody, I wanted to wait until my nerves had settled a little before I started an entry. Time has seemed to warp because it feels like I have been here a very long time, however, since the 2nd I have more frightened then I have ever been and moved onto a cautious content. The tide began to turn when I started to get really interested in what we learning. I have been trying to stay busy walking around [View Full Entry]
