Spring Camp

I almost forgot for a week was at a spring camp teaching English. The kids were nice but kinda eccentric they changed clothes like 3 times a day and I am pretty sure that's the amount i change in a good week.First picture is facing one way, the second one is of a cafe I saw and thought was cool, third one is facing the other way on the coast line. Really pretty place.



Bladow

So there was a terrorist attack in Marrakech which is a big city in Morocco. For back ground info its a UNESCO historic site so basically if you wanna see cool shit in the world you should probably see it. Well for volunteers its kind of a pain in the ass since its a tourist site when we get there to work we get treated like tourist well I don't really unless I'm with the fairer skin volunteers. The bombing is awful for many reasons first because all attacks are pretty despicable acts. For more to home reasons it makes people worry about us like the US gov and if they get too worried we have to go home and I don't want any part of that. Other news been working my a off, tried and failed to climb a mountain. Their was no trail so reaching the top was impossible for someone like me I'll try again later when I get in better shape.
Its kinda hard to see but I got to that tree in the middle and then said f it. The second picture is the view from the tree.

Omar's coming

For the last 2 months there have been a lot of protests in the region where I currently live. From Morocco to all Egypt basically the north coast of Africa and then into to the middle east. My small little town even had protest but it was mostly to show the government that there are problems here and would love assistance.  I was told I can't really talk about politics so  I'll leave it as I am good over here so no problems. Otherwise I've lost about 50 pounds here which is kind of ridiculous since I walk a little more and eat way better. The walking part is all me since it helps me keep a little bit of sanity but the eating part is kind of forced on you when the closet McDonald is a couple 100 kms away yes I just used km I don't feel like converting to miles. Well hope everyone else is good.

Sorry my laptop

I am using my friends net book right now but don't want to overuse it so haven't really been online much. To update whats going on with me. My computer broke the day of the eagles packers game so it was really shitty day all around. Ive been studying and reading more so it hasn't been that bad but very boring. I walk a lot more too and in the last month I've fought with a dog and a rooster. The dog wasn't that exciting i picked up a rock threw it at the dog missed and me and him had a staring contest for 10 minutes. I'm pretty sure he got bored. The rooster tried to cheap shot me in the back of my knee but I booted the crap out of it. We did that shit 3 times before he was like I'm about to get knocked the fuck out. Other events painted a dental hygiene mural, been teaching English with my site mate at the dar shebab(youth center), trying to work with my association, and just naturally losing a shit ton of weight. When i move into this house with internets and my laptop situation is cool I'll be able to post more until then my bad.
