No sooner than my daughter returns home from her first year at UVA, she's off to study abroad in Morocco! Yes, Morocco. (I can't get Crosby, Stills & Nash's Marrakesh Express* out of my head!) If she weren't my daughter and I didn't love her so much, I'd be awfully jealous. The farthest I've been from home is San Fransisco. It will be a fantastic opportunity and experience for her. For six weeks, she and her classmates will be alternating between four days taking French classes in Rabat and three days traveling throughout Morocco. I just hope she doesn't get kidnapped by Bedouins. (No offense to my Bedouin readers!)____________

Congrats to your daughter! What a wonderful opportunity!
ReplyDeleteHi Elaray. Doesyour daughter sew? I guess she'll be busy. Pray that she'll have a safe and plesant experience. A lady from the sewing lounge (my frequent postings) just returned from Morocco. She enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteUVA is a good school.
Well, I am jealous. Ha, Ha. Hope she has a wonderful time ... oh, yea, and "learns a lot, too.

Yep, jealous! I have always wanted to go to Morocco. Great opportunity for your daughter. Good luck to her.
ReplyDeleteLucky girl. And I'm sure she'll grow up a lot during the next couple of months.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous, too! You know, the European patternreview get together will be in Paris in November. Moms should get to travel, too!!
ReplyDeleteHow nice. This sounds like a great opportunity.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an opportunity for you daughter. I am jealous, too.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for her to visit another country. I think every young person should experience a different culture for themselves. We sometimes forget we're not the only ones living on this planet.
ReplyDeleteWow. I am so totally jealous. I would love to go to Morocoo. What a fantastic opportunity for her! She'll need to bring you home a fabric present.
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic for your daughter!
ReplyDeleteWe need to get a sewing cruise together where we travel to exotic places and buy fabric; onboard we take classes taught by sewing experts. I'd so go...
Hi. I just ran across your blog today. My husband is from Rabat. I have been there several times. You should ask your daughter to bring home some fabric for you. I love the fabric shops (souks) there.
ReplyDeleteTo be that young again. The world is a sponge to be soaked up. Tell her to take many pics and yes bring back fabric for you. Tell her to have a great time.
