One Last Hurrah

One of the rules of Peace Corps states that Volunteers cannot take a leave of absence during the first or final three months of service. Seeing as my COS date is just over three months away, it's time to cash in the last of my vacation days and be whisked away via twelve hour train ride toooooo: Ras El Ma, or Cap de l'eau, if you'd prefer.

Ras El Ma, a small beach town on the Mediterranean coast, is in the northeastern corner of the country near the Algerian border. Aside from that I don't know much about it, but the pictures look nice.

I'm looking forward to the much-needed time out of site, seeing a new area of the country, and spending some time with everyone. Oh, and being at the beach on the Mediterranean. Right. Also is the possibility of a visit to the first host family's place afterward, though as it isn't on the way and funds are extremely limited, it's up in the air for the moment.

I'll be away for about a week, returning to site just as-- dun dun dun-- Ramadan hits.
