I am here in Rabat! I made it safe and sound, mom and dad.
The flight took forever and a day, it seemed. About 15 hours in the air total. Can we say swollen feet and a delirious brain?
Sleep escaped me as I watched the plane fly away from the sunset and towards the sunrise.
As the super long flight wore on, I started having some second thoughts...wait....WHAT am I DOING? And then I read the food section of my lonely planet...and I was cured.
Most of the kids in my program were on the same flight from Paris to Rabat, so it was nice to meet new friends as we all awkwardly made our way to the plane with our book-laden backpacks...reminiscent of day 1 of freshmen year of high school.
Sunday we all had dinner together at the CCCL (Center for Cross-Cultural Learning) where we will have our classes. Yay, friends.
Favorite part of the day: Eating dinner on top of the terrace with a view of the entire city of Rabat, watching the sunset and listening for the muezzin calling the people to prayer.
P.S. loading pics is a pain in the mother right now. when i get some stronger internet i promise i will post oodles of pictures for your viewing pleasure.
ma'a salaama
