Back to Essouira was a nice way to end vacation in Paris. It was great to see Peace Corps friends and experience the magical music festvial, Gnauoa. Eating ice cream and sitting on the windy beach was refreshing. The music venues happened late and I enjoyed the impromptu jams during the day inside the medina walls. Rabat was uneventful as I went for my mid service medicals and finally got some new glasses. From one beach to the next, Agadir was a regional meeting where I had the chance to meet new volunteers and get support for work. I had the opportunity to work on a small wheelchair distribution project in Tarodant and visit volunteers along the way for some creative and quiet time.
