Off to see the wizard of Oz

I'm headed to Ouarzazate region of Morocco. I'm calling it Oz because it's just easier.

They speak a language called Berber in the Oz region. Yes, I realize that berber is also a carpet. In fact, berber carpet and the Berber language get their name from the Berber tribe of Northwestern Africa.

The Peace Corps gives us money for language tutors so I might end up knowing 3 languages: Berber, Moroccan Arabic (a.k.a Darija), and French. I'm not giving you a link to French because if you don't already know what French is, you should feel shame.

I don't know what internet access is like out there but I'll get on as soon as I can find a place.
