Happy New Year - bzzzz, bzzzz(the noise maker)!!

So we have moved into our apartment - perhaps we'll give you a visual tour via youtube. Every night we have been busy meeting new people and eating out, taking taxi's and attempting to speak tashelhiyt which isn't moroccan arabic, the language that i learnt in Fes. Andy & Kathy, originally from New York but now from 1 1/2 north of Agadir, and Chris & Kat, from Marrakech, came down for the New Year - and to spend a weekend at the beach. One of the evenings we hung out with another couple who lives in Fes and have been workers here for years and then the two teams that are staying in Agadir - one from Scotland and one from Korea. I thought I would give out a map so you can all see where we are at - and Marrakech is 4 hours away, meaning that Fes, well is about 10 hours past Marrakech. The great thing is though, we will be heading up to Ein Leuh, north of Fes at the end of February to VOH, the orphanage we visited when I was in Fes before. So New Years Eve we got to spend with the two teams and we ate lasagna, played games - mad gab is a hit here, and prayed - it was interesting but full of blessings. Dust's job starts tomorrow - a team from Germany arrives and he's gonna sit through the orientation and assist Robbie, the Agadir head of teams that come in - he's a young guy, Dust and him really get along so it'll be good. Turns out that the school is still being built a bit so teaching will start the middle of January - in the meantime though, there are three koreans living in agadir and are taking regular english classes from anne, an older lady that lives above George - so I'll most likely help with that.
