Movin' On Out!

Tonight is my last night in my homestay family.  I must admit I'm pretty happy to be leaving, but, as you come to know people over time, parting from them is always a little bittersweet.  Why would I be excited to leave a house like this, you ask?  For the same reasons I was excited to enter it:  the big family.  No matter what family you're among, there are always good times and bad times.  However, living in a house with 3 children under the age of ten has proved to be not the easiest task to undertake for someone who had never had to deal with children on a daily basis before.  I welcomed and accepted the challenge, but I will also welcome the new peacefulness that will come with my new home! Albeit, I will be living with 10 other females of my same age, but I think things will be slightly quieter, nonetheless.

So where is this new home? About 2 minutes away from my homestay family.  Of course that's a lot of houses when you consider how tightly packed houses are in the Medina, but it's just far enough away that I will be able to see them whenever I desire, instead of the other way around.  It is also just off the main produce street, so food will not be difficult to find.  I've packed my bags, and it's time to go.  So, wish me luck!
