From Annie

we went today to a community center in takkadoum. i did not understand any words coming out of their mouths... but i understood that they wanted us to dance with them. we showed them the electric slide and how to 'lean with it, rock with it' and they showed us some pretty amazing moves in return. it doesn't matter where you live, if you are willing to dance... you are sure to make friends.

after takkadoum, i went with hoa, kristen, and eric to a 'teachers conference'. i sat in a room with other english teachers and we talked about motivated teachers. the comments that moroccan teachers made were so similar to the feelings of my colleagues in the united states.

over and over on this trip i am realizing that we are much more alike than we are different.
