Left so Long

Today it has been very windy and raining hard for most of the day. Its been an unusually wet and cold winter round these parts. Stuff with me getting my own little house is coming along. This morning - after more than a week of hoop jumping - the power got hooked up. I also went with my host father and brother to buy stuff for the house. We got a mattress, some couch pads, a stove top, blender and water heater. Im looking forward to moving in by the end of the week.

Late last week the power went out for a few hours. It was cool to look over the town and only see darkness. It was a good chance for me to pull out a few of the many flashlghts I brought.

Things are going really well here. I really enjoy working for Peace Corps and living among Moroccans. They are a very kind and welcoming people. In the past few days Ive even had the chance to talk with guys who speak good English and Ive been able to ask questions about Islam and some of their beliefs. Its all very interesting to me. This is a fascinating experience and Im looking forward to two years of it.
