Final few days in Morocco & Back to the US

Thursday March 29

We got on the bus to Casablanca at 6AM.  The return trip seemed so much quicker.  Found the train station and got tickets back to Rabat with Kristen and Stephanie.  A short walk from the train station and we were back at LeDiwan, our hotel in Rabat.  We were on our own for the rest of the afternoon and it was fun to meet up with other members of our group and hear how their experiences had been.

Friday March 30

Our time in this wonderful country is drawing to a close.  The group reconvened to discuss and reflect on our experiences in Moroccan schools.  We also discussed our essential questions and considered how we could utilize our experiences and to continue working on globalizing our classrooms.  With the debriefing complete we spent the remainder of the day seeing the sights in Rabat.

Leaving the hotel for the airport at 3AM...ugh.  Found the blog of my partner teacher in Benimellal.  Her pictures and information can be found at http://srosamorocco.wordpress.com/.  Lots of hours in and out of airplanes and airports.  From Rabat back to Charles de Gaul in Paris, then to Atlanta, and finally to Denver about 9PM MDT.

Sunday April 1

Started the day by handing out 2,500 basketballs to kids up to age 18 for the Mile High Dribble, which was part of the Women's NCAA Basketball tournament being held in Denver.  My wife and I volunteered and helped with several events during the day.  Tourney town was pretty cool with lots of different sporting activities.  It was a fun way to help reset my schedule back to Wyoming time.

  1. What all languages do they speak there? That stone had latin on it, but I don't think they speak latin. The rest of the writing doesn't look like latin.
