http://lizwhitton.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Adventures of a Twentysomething. As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are, otherwise you will miss most of your life." - Buddha. Tuesday, November 10, 2009. Saying goodbye, travel plans and updates. In a week, I leave site. How do I say goodbye to a village that has fed me, cared for me, and taught me what a textbook cannot? Just how will I get to Amerikah? I will be sailing the ocean blue, like Columbus, sharing the voyage with 19 other RPCVs! Instead of the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria, the shi...

Adventures of a Twentysomething. As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are, otherwise you will miss most of your life." - Buddha. Tuesday, June 23, 2009. The loooong summer days. Summer is here and so far so good. In these long hours of daylight, I have found many ways to keep myself busy. And in just 5 short days I will be with Mom and Ellen in London! But before I leave for London, one big thing needs to be accomplished. My PCPP grant needs to be filled. I am $288 away from my goal! Volunteers w...

Adventures of a Twentysomething. As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are, otherwise you will miss most of your life." - Buddha. Thursday, January 21, 2010. Readjusting to the “Do-It-Yourself” Culture. How do I work it? Will you do it for me? The rough scrubbing glove). I want to hold onto as much of Morocco as I can while starting a life for myself below the Mason-Dixon line—some sort of Southern-Moroccan fusion. I thought I would have more figured out by now. I feel lost or maybe it is a di...

Adventures of a Twentysomething: Ahhh, Fall
http://lizwhitton.blogspot.com/2009/10/ahhh-fall.html
Adventures of a Twentysomething. As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are, otherwise you will miss most of your life." - Buddha. Sunday, October 11, 2009. I love fall. Gone is the oppressiveness of summer, Ramadan, and nights full of noisy celebrations. In style, currently: sunny days with a slight chill in the air, busy days and leisurely nights, and my favorite fruit season—pomegranates and apples. Occasionally, I pause to stare at the hills and wonder if snow will fall before I leave—in ...

Adventures of a Twentysomething. As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are, otherwise you will miss most of your life." - Buddha. Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Before I delve into my thoughts about life and current events, let me first say congratulations to Katherine. My little sister graduates from high school today—congratulations! A great travel writing memoir about Theroux’s adventures traveling from Cairo to Cape Town. This was his first return to Africa in more than 30 years and throug...I have ...

Adventures of a Twentysomething. As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are, otherwise you will miss most of your life." - Buddha. Thursday, March 19, 2009. One of the best parts of my training outside Ouarzazate was being able to sit in my host family’s courtyard and stare at all the stars in the night sky. There, on the cusp of the Sahara, they were a sight to see. My mountains’ stars just do not hold that same beauty. So it was a pleasure to be back under the desert sky. Enjoying not sitting on ...

We'll start with our trip to Fes, and then talk about our trip down south. Get out of the way! And merchants trying to get your attention. Of course, the...

Emily and Jon in Morocco. A Place Where Friends and Family Can Better Understand Our Experience in Morocco. Saturday, June 5, 2010. A Paper Making Tale. This is a story (a very long one) about how I came to work with handmade paper and the women of the Al-Falah Women's Cooperative. It's a meandering tale of a Peace Corps project that started a year and a half ago and which in many ways is only just beginning. It's a story with many twists and turns (and pictures! At that time I had just sworn in as a vol...
