It's hard for me to believe that I've been living here for 6 weeks now! Morocco is really beginning to feel like home to me. The dirt and the noise, markets, crazy taxi drivers...I love this place :)
Nothing too exciting has happened...go to school, come home, eat, grade, plan, sleep and do it all over again. I started tutoring an 8th grade boy this week. He is the son of one of my co-workers and lives in our building...pretty nice set-up. Weekends are slightly more eventful. Friday nights Sarah and I crash after a long week and have been in bed almost every week by 8!!! Wow, are we old or what :) Saturdays are for errands, work, going out with friends...we have a good time.
Last weekend the owner of the school took Sarah, myself and another teacher out for dinner and to a jazz club. The evening was quite entertaining...I wish I could have video-taped it! To start off, he was and hour late for picking us up (welcome to Moroccan culture!). Standing next to our building, dressed up and with a male co-worker waiting for our ride, we can only imagine what it looked like! At the restaurant he asked us about 20 times whether we liked this place or not :) He also called his daughter in Boston and put Sarah on the phone with her (because she is a Sarah too). Then at the end of our meal another teacher from the school came over to join us because his friends had left. From there we went to a jazz club, Amstrong. Picture this...Sarah and I at a night club, standing awkwardly next to three 40-year-old men! The band was very good and played quite a few song we knew. It really was a nice evening...just an interesting one :)
