November 28 and 29

The flight to Madrid was not up to most people’s standards but overall I thought it was a good flight. When we got to Madrid we got some food at the convenience store and explored all the expensive stores that were everywhere in that terminal. The wait for our flight was kind of long but we had Bitlife, so we were fine. I slept so well on that flight. Arriving in Casablanca made the trip feel so real and a wave of happiness struck me. We went through customs and went outside. It was so warm and all the signs were written in Arabic.

 

We waited at the corner of the street for a van to get a ride to Rabat, where we would be staying. The drive was really long. But all of the scenery was so cool. Not to be compared to what we would see later, which was so much cooler. We arrived first at the Bridges Cultural Center where we met the teachers and administrators.  Their English was so good. They had lunch prepared for us and we were served this amazing Moroccan chicken with bread. 

After lunch our hosts arrived and took us to where we would be staying. Our host sister was so nice. I’m pretty sure everyone that night just chilled at the house and got accustomed with our hosts. The dinner they served us in our house was so good. It was this pasta dish that was about 10 pounds. I don’t know how they expected us to eat that. Then we all just chilled and went to sleep finally, after such a long day of travelling.
