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.
