One more full day in Aghbala before we leave for the foreseeable future. One more full day until we’re back in Beni Mellal, swearing in as official peace corps volunteers, and getting ready to move to our final sites for two years.

One week in a foreign country and I feel like I’m at home. I can only say greetings in Darija, the heat has been getting to all of us, and handwashing laundry is the new bane of my existence, but, I have never felt this welcomed or experienced this much hospitality in my life. It’s unbelievable how fast you can fall in love with a foreign country and become best friends with 56 strangers, but I’m getting ahead of myself.
