Happy May 3rd!!

This isn't my picture but I will put mine up soon. :)

I have now embarked upon May, my last month in Morocco. The time has crept up on me so quickly that I am not sure how to feel. I miss home a lot and so go through random bouts of daydreams of my life in Minnesota and Iowa. But at the same time I realize that I will miss so much when I leave. Morocco has become my home for these last couple of months. I am set on making the most of the time I have left and wish to return, traveling a lot, and trying to store up memories.

Those serious thoughts aside, I travelled to Chefchouen this weekend with a few kids from the program. This little mountain village is about 6 hours by bus away. It is a blue city. And by a blue city, I mean the buildings are literally all blue. It is a beautiful combination of Portuguese inspired buildings, blue and white paint, and yet an old blue Medina as well. This is the hippy town of Morocco, where I might have acquired several hippy inspired pieces to add to my wardrobe. I now have a pair of green harem pants, which are wonderfully light and baggy. I also have a large poncho which buttons up. Perfect for any rastafarian type looks I wanted to emulate. Or simply to stay warm when I climb a mountain in a couple of weeks.... but more of that later. :)



I took a wonderful mountain hike to a natural bridge of two mountains that is known as "God's Bridge" It is the coming together of two beautiful mountains. What a lovely place we found. The view was breathtaking as you walked a couple hours to the top and stopped to finally breathe in the freshest of air. We passed streams to look down into the valley and out to more mountains. Some day I will definitely come back to this place and hike more in the mountains. If anyone wishes to join me, let me know!
