Exciting things!

So this morning we woke up at 6am to go to Bouskoura to cheer on our friends running a 15K race. We wore our workout clothes so that we could do a few miles as well (but definitely weren't in shape enough to do the full 10mi)...or so we thought :) We began running and after the 6th km thought..."Well, if we turn around now we will do 12km. So why not just do the whole race!" haha. So we did...without training...without being officially in the race...we completed our first 15K and didn't die!!! I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow but I'm feeling pretty good right now :)

Other fun things to look forward to...only one more week of school before spring break! Then Spain and Portugal here we come! After spring break I only have to teach for 4 days and am then meeting my mom and Hannah in London/York for a girls weekend! THEN Hannah is coming back to Morocco with me for a whole week!!! I can hardly contain my excitement for all the fun these next weeks are going to hold :D

Just another day in Morocco

In the words of Sarah (about our evening last night), "Water pipe just burst under our kitchen sink...sprayed everywhere...half hilarious, half really not after a long day. Hung the soaking carpet out to dry....and it starts to rain. We would wash the towels but, oh, our washing machine is broken. Hmm..."

AND the "new" washing machine that was supposed to be dropped off today...not working? All you can do is laugh!
