heading to the High Atlas...
We had a interesting trip to Meknes, Volubilis, and Moulay Idriss exploring some of the rich historical periods of Morocco. Tonight, the students are spending their last night with their homestay families. Earlier this evening, we had a "shukkran bezeff" (thank you so much) party for all of the families over mint tea and Moroccan sweets. Tomorrow morning we head out early for our long journey up into the High Atlas. We will arrive in Imlil tomorrow afternnon and begin our trek on Tuesday morning. We will take this time to enjoy a little freedom from the technology we are used to (computers and cell phones). Everyone is looking forward to seeing some snow capped peaks and learning more about the Amazigh (Berber) culture!
We will update you all when we arrive in Marrakesh next week.
