an old cat will not learn how to dance

I am a recent graduate from the University of Massachusetts Amherst where I received a BA in French and Francophone Studies, a minor in Cultural Anthropology, and 3 years of Modern Standard Arabic language study. In the spring semester of 2010, I studied abroad in Rabat, where I fell in love with Moroccan culture. Upon graduation, I knew I wanted to return to Rabat to continue learning as much as I could about the country, the languages, and the people who live here. These are my travel notes.
