I should have brought my winter jacket today, I thought to myself. Yes, they had told me it was winter and it could get cold. But for some reason, I brushed the thought aside yesterday morning, not expecting it to get that cold. It was Africa, how cold could it get?
Apparently, cold enough to make it hard to concentrate on the tour guide. Apparently, cold enough to make me spend more of my energy trying to keep warm than to try and understand the Derija dialect around me.
After a much needed night of sleep, we got ready for our first day in Morocco on Wednesday. We had breakfast and then orientation. During orientation I got more and more excited about living with a host family. I cannot wait to experience full-blown Moroccan hospitality and feel like I’m welcomed into a Moroccan family!
We then headed out for lunch and then touring some typical sight-seeing places in Rabat. My group took thousands of pictures, but I took a couple (to make sure I could share them on the blog).
