6/19
Not much to mention but my apartment is finally on its way to being ready for me to move into which is exciting! Also I had my first tea with a group of male leaders in the community at a café on the main road in Bounaamane on Wednesday so that was exciting! It’s really nice automatically being gender neutral as an American here. The last big highlight from this past week was having the Moroccan version of Chef Boyerdee. It was amazing! Imagine chef boyardee without the chemicals and with lentals done well. That’s what it was!..a more exotic form I guess. Alright…on that note I’ll stop but tomorrow I’m going to Sidi Ifni for the weekend so I’m sure I’ll have more to write soon!
6/23
After a relaxing weekend in a bungalow on the beach in Sidi Ifni with four other girls from the Tiznit convent (there are literally no boys placed in Tiznit province since it’s too conservative), my batteries have been recharged. We lied on the beach, ate some really good fresh fish, and played cards. There was also some wifi so that was a HUGE treat! Already though, it’s been a busy week. I meet with my counterpart at the local clinic and then I had a site visit with my assistant program manager Rachid. Both went well. Rachid is always hilarious and full of good info so it was a fun but productive site visit. He also brought me my mountain bike which I’m really really excited about! Since I’m in a valley surrounded by mountains it’s flat and perfect for biking. Alright….well this is all the exciting news I have for now but I move into my apartment next Wednesday and I’m doing some furniture/appliance shopping tomorrow so I’ll keep you updated on how all that goes.
