I was able to travel to the Northern part of Morocco this week with a few other teachers/administration as a getaway before school starts. We drove Wednesday morning, spent the night, and drove back Thursday afternoon. It was a relaxing time in a wonderful city, and it was such a blessing to be able to get to know the other teachers so much more and in such a great way! The 24 hour period was filled with much walking, serenading the group with musical tunes during lunch, learning useful and non-useful Arabic phrases and when to use them, lack of sleep due to staying up late listening to a trumpet player at. . . 3 in the morning???!!!!, hiking up a giant hill or small mountain (being from the flat lands, it's difficult to tell isn't it?), sharing our hearts, talking about lesson plans and students and school, lots of laughter, and so much more! Here's a little video I put together for your viewing pleasure. Don't mind the fact that this girl needs a larger vocabulary. For being an English teacher, I sure used the word "beautiful" too much! :)
