Week one: check

We have officially been in Morocco for over a week! Much to no ones surprise, it's been a lot of fun, challenging at times (special shout out to language and Turkish toilets), the food is great, and we have a great couple of years ahead of us. 

Right now, we're at our first HUB training weekend in Azrou, which is covered in a few inches of snow and a bigger town than our little village. For these HUBs (there will be a few), we have about 50 volunteers all together again. This time, there have been some trainings on reporting a few other key pieces of service and evaluation, and the second installment of our Rabies vaccines. 

Back at our homestay, we have an amazing family to live with. Our host mother, Latifa, is a superb cook and likes to feed us whenever possible and as much as possible (you would be surprised how much sugar one can eat in a day). Our host dad, Ali, is retired and is the quintessential old dude who rocks at Uno with some language learners and is complete with mustache! We have two sisters, but we'll save that for another post. 

And as a final thought, our early morning grand taxi ride yesterday was summed up with this: stuck between a donkey and a hard place. 

Fun fact: this is just a derivative of Laughing Cow here and is eaten... all of the time.
