Well, what new adventures did I have this week in Morocco? To be honest not too many. Our local school planned a great Earth Day activity and we were super excited to be involved until we found out that they are celebrating it a week late. Darn! It would have been so much fun, but we can't change our schedule. Instead we visited the local Agriculture Guru on Earth Day and he showed around some of his garden. Our region is well know for growing roses and anything that can be made from rose oil. He seems to be the mliddle man who buys from all of the families in the area and then sells to a larger buyer. This picture is some of the roses drying on his roof. Keep in mind that this picture was taken last weekend and we wont reach the height of the season until the rose festival in the begining of May. The roses here dont look like roses in the states but they have a much stronger scent. It really is amazing. We are hopeful we will be able to go to the Rose Festival during our next homestay.
On the taxi ride back to seminar I was thinking about what to write on my blog and then we nearly hit a group of camels! Yes folks, pictures of camels. My camera was burried but luckliy a gruop member got some good pics and shared them with me. As if that wasnt enough, a few kilometers down the road we almost ran into another group of camels, but this time it was a whole herd, maybe 50. It was pretty amazing. Now I can add camels to my list of animals who have stopped traffic. 
My only other exciting news is that final sites are announced tomorrow. I will finally know where I will be living the next two year. We leave for site visit on Saturday and get to actually meet our next homestay families and see our sites. It will be exciting and I will be sure to post pictures when I get back. The best news is that I will finally have a PO blx and will be able to recieve care packages, wink wink.
I hope everyone is doing well. Talk to you soon!
