Lol, sorry I cut myslf off mid word b/c I was skyping the parents and forgot that I was blogging too. Hee hee, hey! That's an idea, you should all set up skype accounts so I can talk to you guys, or at least leave skype messages.
So as I was saying before. I think the PCVs i my province deliberatly celebrate things in a hilariously non-sequitar manner. During CBT (remember those posts? they feel like a life time ago) we celbrated Easter at the Buddist's home, Halloween was celebrated by dining on sushi in Marrakech, Thanksgiving was enjoyed at the home of our beautiful PCV of Latina origin (I would like to specify here- for those who might be offended... it's funny. You know it. Admit it and set yourself free.);) and we will be spending a very festive and jouyous Christmas at the home of the only Errachidia/ Midelt resident Jew. Hee hee hee Have I mentiond I love my provintial gang? We're the nicest, prettiest, and best team-work-doing group in Morocco.
There, the gauntlet is thrown, if there are any other PCV Moroccans reading this, I dare you to prove me wrong!
In other news, there may not be any Christmas spirit here yet but I can tell I'm getting in the mood, I always celebrate the Holidays by cooking and it's no different here. But I must add, in reference to the song, No there is no Christmas in Africa... alas. If anyone wants to send me some snow I'de be glad. (Dearest brother, hint hint:P )
Ha! Here's a funny PCV Erika Story. One day I was feeling so sad that there's no Christmas and there aren't any evergreens here to have in my house (not even a Charlie Brown miskeen one!) so I drew one on a giant sheet of paper and taped it to my wall. And I drew an angel and some bulbs... and one charlie Brown Bulb in honor of how miskeen this is.

Dear lord!! You can have all of it!!!!!!! All the snow I mean!! It falls here and never leaves! The cold never goes away!!! And then when it does (because “never” around here means 6 months.) the rainy season follows it so its crappy and gloomy for 3 months then the dry season hits and everything turns brown and you tell yourself you would kill for a splash of snow… no sooner do you slap yourself for saying it then WHAM!!! You’re digging a tunnel out of your front door through a drift of snow as tall as the house! (and I never excaudate) So yes you can have the snow. when I moved here one of the old codgers said “ if you don’t like the weather give it ten minutes” I’d like to find that guy and ask him where exactly he was talking about because it’s not here. I would say to be more accurate, “if you don’t like the weather here !!!!MOVE!!!”. Love you sis, more tomorrow.
