A two hour trip to Detroit, MI; a three hour layover; almost an 8 hour flight to Charles De Gaulle airport, France; another 3 hour layover; and a 21/2 hour flight to Morocco, but here I am. We were told that the weather has been overcast and very rainy of late, but the Americans brought the sun with them. Gorgeous weather! Our hotel is very close the the medina (old walled city), so JSEC students be prepared to be waved at from across the Atlantic Ocean because we are going there tomorrow. We exchanged some money, almost insulted a very helpful bellman who showed us how to use the ATM to exchange USD for dirhams (I tipped him too little and had to give him more money when I realized that I miscalculated the worth of the dirham!
Mike and I got to meet our former host teacher as IREX flew him to Rabat for these three days of seminars and we will make partnership plans with his school and students. We had a nice dinner in traditional Moroccan style and the meat eaters learned how to pull the chicken off the platter using three fingers on the right hand. My new co-teachers and I learned that we are taking a bus get to Beni Mellal on Thursdaky

And so our adventure begins.
One tired traveler who was so pleased to be in beautiful Morocco! The foreground finger was one of Mike Farmer's, but thanks for shooting the pic anyway, Mike!
