why i LOVE other countries




so, i have now officially been here for a week. its so weird, when you spend 24 hours a day with people you get really close really fast. so even though i have new friends i've only known for a week, we have become really close. its strange to think that these people, who have left at this point, are not going to be a part of my overall experience since i have 11 more weeks here. there will be a lot of other cool people to meet. but at the moment, i cant imagine our house without these people.

in explanation of the milkybar photos... so, yesterday my friend meghan was going to acima (the grocery store a block away from the house) and i asked her to get me some chocolate, any chocolate. this is what she came back with. the milkybar wrapper is the funniest thing i've seen so far in morocco. i guess thats the milkybar cowboy kid...? anyway, i find him adorable. for more on the milkybar kid see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM8h7Yc3zfc

nothing much else is new. some of my friends have left, some are staying, its the weekend and its been sunny. today all of us sat out on my balcony and read in the sunshine. it was so nice to be really warm! tomorrow my friend and i may explore the palace and the park near our house. good night!
