So this is probably my last post from Morocco. I leave tomorrow morning for Casablanca and then off to Agadir for a week of rest and relaxation by the pool.
It has definitely been a completely different trip then the last time I was here. A little more intense in some ways and not so much in others. Last time everything was new for me and I didn't really know what was going on and the language barrier was way worse. This time I was more in the know but I got a crash course in Moroccan crime. I think I would prefer the first trip.
I think I have a better grasp on my Arabic than ever before which is good. I just wish I had time to continue with it in the states. Hopefully in the future I will be able to take more courses. I was hoping to study abroad a few more times but who knows if that will ever happen.
I can't believe the friendships I am taking away from this place this time. Jacqueline and I have probably been the closest. We do pretty much everything together which it's nice to have someone to do stuff with especially when you actually really click with the person. We are planning on running a half marathon in Arizona this winter. Way pumped about that. There are so many more people too that I sincerely hope to stay in touch with. I know I'll be seeing Sybille before too long since she is letting me crash at her place in Brussels in a week. :)
Well, tonight is dinner and henna with the host family. I think it is very fitting that I am spending my last night in the medina. It is the place I love in Fes no matter how much I complain about the men harassing me. There isn't another place like the old medina any where in the world.
Well, it is time for some haracha and msamen with Jacqueline. I plan to do two more entries: one on the titles of the blog posts and one more from the states. Thanks for reading.
