Meetup in Rabat

This past weekend proved to be a great one, from the food and the drinks that flowed to the amazing company of other volunteers who all came into the capital city to see Sec. of State Clinton talk at the embassy. As always, a trip such as this one set me back slightly in the money department with my monthly allowance, but it was well worth the lightening of the wallet. Linked below is a snippet of Hillary Clinton's talk and it has where she mentions the Peace Corps which was pretty neat. I also was able to shake her hand after she talked. Her hand was surprisingly smooth, but I didn't have enough time to ask what kind of lotion she uses.

I took a nice solo hike about an hour and a half outside my town to a nearby hill. Here is Taourirt from the distance!

First poem attempt

Since I may attempt to start a creative writing and poetry club with some of my students I thought I should try my hand:

"Untitled"
Paint rainbows on the inside of you glasses and you'll be temporarily content,
But take them off and the world will be as you left it.
Adjust the visual settings on your mind and watch what happens,
Life can be the most beautiful at it's most mundane.

This is life
