Ifrane

First of all, I am sorry for not writing for so long, since the revolution in Egypt the program relocated us to a tiny town in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Ifrane. There isn't much to say about Ifrane because there isn't much here. There is the university and the most expensive hotel in morocco and skiing. Our workload has increased in order to make up for the lack of cultural immersion here. The university is an English speaking university so it sometimes feels like just a very boring small town in the US. The scenery is probably the best aspect of Ifrane, we are in the mountains and there are lakes, egrets and wild boars apparently. Ifrane is about an hour away from Fez and Meknes which is nice because we aren't completely cut off from Moroccan Society, the only problem is getting finished with our homework in time to go on adventures...
