First Day...

Salaam alaykum!
So after several delayed flights on Monday and missing orientation followed by massive sleep deprivation I have finally arrived in Morocco! It is only my second day in the country but I’m already in love with it. The people, the food, and the scenery are all amazing! All the staff and the fellow PC trainees have made this a very enjoyable beginning to my service here also. When we finally arrived yesterday we had we had a long bus ride from the airport to our hotel where when we arrived we had lunch. Our lunch included our first taste of real couscous. After lunch we had a medical orientation, which I was pretty excited about since we got our mosquito nets! Following orientation we had a walking tour of the city and we ended the evening with dinner and some group wifi time in the hotel lobby mostly due to the fear of not having convenient internet after we leave for our training cites Monday.
Needless to say though, it’s been a exhausting 4 or 5 days and we had full day of orientation today so I’ll end here but for now I arrived safely and I promise to keep you posted on more of my adventures from the Maghreb soon!
