Leaving for the Country!

Tomorrow, I am leaving for the countryside for the week!  Not the Romantic countryside, but the actual countryside.  I will not have electricity for the entire week and will not shower for the entire week.  I have held out pretty well so far with being able to take a shower only 2 or 3 times a week in Rabat, but we'll see how I fare for the entire week.  In our briefing/orientation session for the village homestay, our director told us to expect that we will be sleeping with the entire family pretty close to any animals, like cows and sheep, that the family may have, and that the people have a very odd relationship with dogs.  The dogs protect the house and the family, but if they come too close to humans, they get a rock thrown at them.  This expected dramatic change in lifestyle will be very interesting to observe, so no doubt I'll have plenty to say afterward!  This could get ugly, but I have a feeling I'll have some fun.
