Two
days later, I have crash-landed at the hotel with 11 hours to pack up and get
ready for tomorrow's big move from Rabat to Marrakech. It has been a whirlwind
of meetings, new faces, and information gathering. I have met many helpful and
friendly people whose names I cannot pronounce or remember. The bulk of my time
has been spent at the U.S. Embassy where, despite my Top Secret security
clearance (that is a story for another day), the world does not exist beyond
the walls. WIFI and phone-free, we got an inside glimpse of embassy life and
the people that will support us out in the field. Most importantly, we got a
chance to shop at the commissary and stock up on Starbucks ground coffee and
Tootsie Rolls (the only available form of chocolate for now - however I have
high hopes for Marrakech). This evening we enjoyed a dinner hosted by the
embassy staff and met many of the people from northern Morocco who are connected to
English language learning. We are now officially ready to go forth and spread
peace, love, and English. Stay tuned as the real adventure begins.
