The flight from Philadelphia to JFK was delayed and I had to take a direct flight to Paris to meet the cohort instead of meeting the group in New York to make the flight together. Everything went smoothly from there except my luggage was on the delayed flight so my fingers are crossed that I will see it tomorrow.
A short drive from the airport in Rabat to the hotel and then a Moroccan Arabic lesson with our wonderful host in Rabat, Meriem. A few of us took a walk to check out the neighborhood around the hotel and since it's Sunday the streets were crowded with families taking a walk and looking for sales in the markets. My Arabic phrase that sums up the last 24 hours is 'labas, l-hamdullah' that translates as 'Good. Thanks be to God'. We all arrived safely and there is not anything quite like Moroccan mint tea or the menthe to help a tired traveler with the afternoon wave of jet lag.
I'll post more soon.
