Trey - Trey Goggins

A student at the University of Virginia, I call Richmond home. I am majoring in Religious Studies and History, with a French minor. My travels this year have taken me on a cross-country drive to Wyoming, a mission trip to Brazil, and now Morocco! Other places I have traveled to include, summers spent in Vermont, sailing in the British Virgin Islands, snowboarding in Colorado and family trips to the Dominican Republic and Paris.

First off, I would like to give a warm welcome to Peggy Thompson. Her daughter, Emily, joined us in Morocco two weeks ago (around the last time I updated) and Mrs. Thompson found the blog through googling UVa and Morocco. Thanks for being a fan. Also, thank you to everyone who has sent me messages over the course of these six weeks. Sorry I have not responded (the blog website is strange about that) but I appreciate your messages. Tomorrow is our last full day in Morocco. Since I left off we have spent a weekend of service at a circus [View Full Entry]

More of the Long Trip Africa » Morocco
More pictures from the long trip. Still waiting on the camel shots. Also, here is a poem I wrote while we were broken down on the side of the road. Bienvenue au Maroc En Medina le chaleur attaque, On doit s'échapper cet enfer, Suivez les secrets Berber, Jusqu'au crépescule dans un lac, Cimes qui supportent le ciel, Bercent doucement dans les bras, Un trésor sculpté en bois, Qui pendant la nuit étincelle, Ce jour passé si lentement, Trois heures tombée en panne, Mais nous gagnions le pain, Par le sueur de nos fronts, C'est la magie du terre qu'il évoque Bienv [View Full Entry]

Last Friday we left for a marathon trip around the South of the country. Many hours in the bus brought us to beautiful hotels, vibrant cities and the most diverse yet stunning natural beauty I have ever seen. I appear to be allergic to charging camera batteries because after replacing a lost battery charger before departing I have now lost my camera battery. Thus this post is missing pictures from our last and possibly most beautiful stay, a very nice resort on the hem of the Sahara's flowing robe of sand. If Roger can get his pictures uploaded then I can [View Full Entry]

It has been a while since I have posted. Time is flying by. Right now I am in a hotel in Ourazazete and have plenty to fill everyone in on. I will try and get as much as possible posted before we leave. [View Full Entry]

After class today, Roger and I took a walk to the beach to meet some friends. We took the scenic route and I practiced my photography skills. Enjoy the pictures! Tomorrow, we go to Casablanca. On another note, I committed to the Commerce school today! I am concentrating in marketing. It was definitely a tough decisions (talk about two paths diverged!) but I am very excited for the next two years. It is definitely going to be a tough curriculum but I am really looking forward to the smaller school experience. [View Full Entry]

The week has been pretty routine so far so I thought I would catch people up on what that means over hear. I am having a blast. It is constantly learning experience to be living in an Islamic country and getting used to the mix of semi-religious overtones, culture gaps, and language barriers. We are living with families and I was very lucky to get paired with Roger Connaroe. He is my year at UVa, Phi Delt, and his outlook on life makes him a great roommate. He's constantly exploring in our trips around Rabat. All in all there are like [View Full Entry]

Considering I have not seen much alcohol consumption, Moroccans must get there kicks somehow. Maybe it's down at the track.

I actually took this picture because I love the shade of Morocco's royal green. And besides, where what would a photo album be without one inspired close up.
Here are pictures from the first field trip we took. They are from Tuesday, May 26. Everything was impressive and interesting but I kept finding myself thinking of the learning process involved in a field trip. Middle school graduation marks the end of the field trip's golden years and I don't think I think this might have been my first field trip since high school. For the most part the pictures do the trip justice. Minus the explanation of what you are looking at, an album of pictures is roughly the same thing. So what is the vale of a field [View Full Entry]

It's a good thing I am getting to this now because I am already forgetting things that happen each day. Monday was my first full day, which now strangely seems routine. Roger and I woke up around 7:45, got ready and had a very French breakfast of baguette, jelly, and cafe au lait. Ahmine then drove us to Amideast because there was no way we were going to make the 20 minute walk and be there on time. The first day of classes was great. I have three classes in the morning, from 9:00-1:15. My first class is a Moroccan literature [View Full Entry]
