In my training site

hello blog fans,
how is everyone?! I am good I am in my training site which is about 25 mins away from fez it is called Ras Elma. It is pretty small but very nice and luckily it has an internet cafe! I have spent the last few days just studying arabic and playing with neighborhood kids at the Dar Chebab (youth center) My home stay family is soooo nice and the little sister Fatima Zhara has taken a liking to me and she is very helpful! She walked me to the cyber cafe so I bought her candy and she ate just about all 3 pounds of gummy bears...some things are universal with kids ;) I will be here for about 11 days and then I will head back to Fez for some more shots and hopefully a hot shower :) Then my next 3 months will be spent traveling back and forth from here to fez and what will be my final site...location unknown for now. Where ever it is I am sure I will be happy as the hospitality in the country is amazing! I am constantly invited to eat with people who both dont know me or my language so it is a honor to be welcomed so unconditionally.

I would like to describe my average day although they are everchanging. Today is my day off of work so I woke up around 9 to meet my family's cousin from spain, I was fed breakfast (bread and cheese, hardboiled egg with cumin and hot sweet milk) and then my Host sister and I played with a frisbee that I brought and then we walked to they cyber cafe where I met up with the other volunteers to talk about how much we missed hot wings and sunday football lol. It is only about 1 pm here now so the rest of the day is to be discovered.
I miss you all and I hope all is well in the states, I will post more pictures soon, My laptop is in storage in Fez, I will return there on October 1st.

Salam a Elakum,
Kristin
