Twenty Months Down

Oh man, life has been insane here recently. The last eight weeks have consisted of a trip to Spain, three trips to Rabat and three trips to Fez. Each trip is 12+ hours with the trip to Fez nearing 17 hours. I feel like I have been doing nothing but traveling.

Granted, it has been a blast. With lots of meetings, an English teaching training workshop, a concert from my dear friend Socorra and applications due, my life finally has a "to-do" list. I haven't written a to-do list in years.

Now I am back in my village for another week or so, then back to Fez for a training session I am hosting with the newest group of volunteers. My applications are nearing completion and will be done before Halloween :) Four down, eight to go.

My flight to Rome in January is booked, finally. Claire, Danielle and I are going to have a blast, I just know it.

My hometown redbirds (the St. Louis Cardinals) are in the World Series and I couldn't be more excited. Go Cards.

I know this is random, much like a brain fart but I wanted to give you an idea of where I am now, both mentally and physically.

Only about six months left, yes six months. Then it's back to bills, car payments, social obligations and school! I couldn't be more excited.

Our super-nice hotel where Sarah-Kate and I stayed in Essaouira with her family.

My delicious breakfast (and my new purple plate). Sweet potatoes are in season here, so I eat them as often as I can. Jancy Morgan also taught me to grow my own bean sprouts out of lentils.

My homemade black bean burger. So yummy. One of the benefits of internet access and too much time means that I can spend my day searching for new recipes. This burger was amazing!
