The Fine Print
This blog is an outlet to share the stories of my time spent abroad, and nothing more. The views and experiences recounted here are mine alone, independent of the Peace Corps and the U.S. government.
GURL!!! So good to talk to you this afternoon! My apologies for not emailing/calling you...my life exploded approximately 17 times since you left. Anyway, I'll be emailing you tonight with an EPIC update. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have now read your entire blog and am up to speed. My biggest concern: YOU ARE WEARING FAR TOO MANY CLOTHES!!!! Your outfit descriptions were horrendous-sounding, but then I saw Marj's pictures...you are drowning in fabric as the sun blisters down on you! Haven't Moroccan's ever heard of heat stroke?
Glad you're having such an amazing time! The pictures look awesome, but I want to see more. :) Love and miss you way too much!

ReplyDeleteYou look adorable! I'm all caught up on your blog and I look forward to reading more - though I must admit, it makes me miss you. I regret not dragging myself out of my fevered horizontal state to say goodbye.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Nicole! You look sooo cute! And you're wearing the long cardigan. My eyes are tearing up.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see you again.
