Departure






Tomorrow morning I’m leavin’ on a jet plane to New York, and in a mere 2 days I will be off to Morocco! I’ll stay there for 7 weeks, with a host family, (a mother and her 27 year old daughter), while studying Arabic at Qalam Wa Lawh Center for Arabic Studies. Although I don’t know much about what my trip will entail, I’m sure it will include many new tastes, people, camels, Ramadan, markets, beautiful sights, challenges, and sunny days.
I’m keeping this blog for all who are interested in my experience this summer in North Africa.

Below we have my lovely entourage at the Portland airport, my 'bon voyage' party!!
