Salamu alaykum. Smiti Alexis. Shakrun.
(Hello. My name is Alexis. Thank you.) That's the extent of my Darija thus far. But everything kicks into gear tomorrow, and I feel like we'll learn a few more things.
Everything has been beautiful. We got into Casablanca airport around 6 am and got a brief look at a foggy airport with palm and citrus trees, which were pleasant to look at going on zero hours of sleep. Then we made the trek to Club Hotel Yasmine just outside of Rabat, where we will now be until Sunday.
We had a quick chance to meet all of the staff here and get a loose outline of what the next 11 weeks have in store.
The next few hours were a blur of stray cats, medical overview, security overview, coffee/tea/amazing juice, vaccines, and more coffee at a local cafe. The food has been all great and perfect, and all 100 of the other volunteers are just as excited/tired/all emotions as we are.
More tomorrow, and now we sleep.
