Last Days in Peace Corps Morocco

This will be my last Peace Corps blog. More than two years have flown by and now our time here is coming to an end. The last two weeks have been a flurry of tying up loose ends with the co-op, sorting and tossing, giving away and shipping, final meetings and goodbye parties and lunches. We will travel to Rabat for final medical exams, paperwork, and signing out. Then it’s on to the Casablanca airport and homeward. Leaving will be bittersweet. Our friends here have been wonderfully kind and generous and I've grown rather attached to our small apartment, but I’m also excited about moving on and returning to our home and family in the US. There are many things I will miss. These are some of them:



The wonderful women of Cooperative Adwal



The wonderful women of Cooperative El Juwda



Hind and Fatima



Our vegetable seller and favorite hanut owners



The daily aroma of baking bread



Tagines



Incredible sunsets



The best clementine oranges on the planet



The laid-back way of life



Donkeys



Farm animals roaming around town



The Fes medina



Watching street life from the rooftop



The stunning views of the Middle Atlas Mountains



Bslama Adwal, Ribat El Kheir, and Peace Corps Morocco.
