Started my morning off with a nice 6:30 am jog to the local park. A bit surreal passing by a few Ambassadors houses, an embassy or two, the royal guards' house and gardens just to get to the park. Needless to say the area I am living in is the rich part of Morocco. Passing men with machine guns while on a jog!! Then it was off to the Ibny Street Center where I went to the 3, 4 and 5 year old classes to teach them some English. The kids are so receptive and respectful of us. It is amazing to see young kids singing "The Wheels on the Bus" or "If You Love Our World" that don't speak English. A few of the 5 year olds even asked me how to spell my name so they could write it in English! Amazing and humbling. Then it was off for a tour around Rabat and local medina. Followed by dinner with the other 29 volunteers (food is so deliscious!!!) and finally went with a new found friend to the beach to watch the sun set and star gaze! What a blessed amazing day!!!
