Making friends

Nick and I made friends with some rather cool Americans. They are teachers in Tangier at an American international school. They told us they have, essentially, been travelling the world teaching at these schools that are just as they sound: American schools located around the world. The schools are beneficial to those families who work for international companies but would like for their children to receive the same american education regardless of where they live. Before they moved to Tangier in August they lived in China for 3 years where they had their son Mac, almost 2 years old and super cute. And before China, they lived in Prague. What a sweet lifestyle. It's a shame I don't like teaching.

Later, on the over night train from Marrakech to Tangier, we met 2 Canadians about the same age as us. They were enjoying a post-graduation 2 month jaunt around Europe with a small detour in Morocco. Skiing in Canada next winter break, eh?
