Soooo the past 2 days have been crazy! I got here on Monday and oh man has it been nuts since. So I flew into Rabat at about 1:30, got through customs and spent waaayy too much on the taxi to the hotel. It was a near death experience too. Driving here is like bumper cars in reverse. I'm not sure if it's just fasting during Ramadan or what but something makes all of the drivers here frickin insane! I literally grabbed the side of the car and said Oh my gosh I'm going to die. It was crazy! this guy drove up on the median and almost got his car stuck! but once I got to the hotel i was able to dump all of my stuff and had to find the student center. the woman at the front desk said that they would tell the cab driver where to go, but it turns out the center isn't on the road, but down a ways. I didn't have the exact address and I had no idea what to look for. Luckily, I saw a few girls who looked american, but I wasn't sure so I jumped out of the cab and started speaking to them in French, then english... They were part of my program! I made it ok and everything and it worked out... I have to go to dinner but i'll finish the story tomorrow! in the meantime, here's the link to my pictures on facebook!
