After what seemed like hours we all finally cleared security and had what must have been the toughest conversations with loved ones and friends in quite sometime. All around me people are saying their 'goodbyes and see you soons' to those who mattered most in life. It was a very somber scene.
Finally we board and my excitement is hard to contain. This is my first international flight and it's like an 8 hour flight so of course having watched tons of movies about transatlantic flights I think I have this part covered...nope! Watching Red Eye or Flight Plan or really any movie involving planes, besides Airplane is a lie. There was nothing nearly that exciting happening. Haha. It was a great time chatting with other PCTs (Peace Corps Trainees) and watching movies though and that suit me just fine until we landed in Morocco.
Now here on the ground things have been kinda a blur, but it's been a ton of fun and man the food has been amazing. We are staying in Oscar Hotel in the capitol city of Rabat for about 10 days total before we all split up across the country to smaller communities were our language training will accelerate and we will be placed with out host families for the next three months #awesome! As of now we continue to learn about about Peace Corps policies, procedures and take intro language course. I am very proud to say that I have retained a good amount of Arabic in just a few brief lessons and feel fortunate that I have class with my roommate so I always have someone to practice with daily.
Well I'm sure there is so much more that I can write about, but I know everyone is really just here to see pictures so hope you enjoy and be your to follow my adventures here in the Morocco. Tell your friends and family too aka the more people who read my blog the more likely Google will pay me to have one. Haha. Don't you want to help your friend in a foreign country living off a small amount of Dirham (local currency) survive? :)
