Morocco Exchange!

I am trying to post some photos but am running into problems for some reason...anyway I uploaded all my photos onto facebook, so check there for tons of good photos!!


what an incredible trip. 4 days in morocco with the morocco exchange program (check out the website, it's super cool: www.moroccoexchange.org). We went to a woman's center in tangier, rode camels on the beach, stayed with a homestay family in rabat, the capitol, met moroccan students and talked with them, drove into country where we hiked this dirt path to a small home in the countryside where we had a very intense discussion about religion, politics, and life with a rural moroccan family with the help of an interpreter. then we went to this beautiful town in the rif mountains called chefchaoen. i learned so much about life in a muslim country here, it was so eye opening and incredible. the moroccan people we met were absolutely wonderful and so generous. oh and the food our homestay mom cooked for us.....ahh! l macla benina, sukran! :) so much more to say about morocco, ask me personally! I am running out of time sheeeeeesh because I got home late last night, need to study and write a paper today, classes all day tomorrow, and then I leave for Italy with Alan early the day after tomorrow. woww!
