Well not really "the far side of the world" but from my perch in America it seem that way. I created this blog, as a place to share my stories, observations and creative impulses that crop up in my day-to-day life during my Peace Corps service.

Pictures of...

Here is a group of images I throw together... the first is me in my bedroom on one of the coldest nights I had, it was about 43 degrees in my room and I usually wear a blanket over my shoulders but it was getting in the way. The thing behind me is a table... my bedroom seconded as a store room for a few weeks while the kusina and lbit-lma were getting a face lift. The next photo is a typical house in TimHdite, the window behind the sat-disks is my bedroom, you should here the animals out there at night, next is the school house (lmdrassa) it is almost as cold as my bedroom if that is possible, but just the other day we got a furnu (woodstove) and now it is so warm we want to sleep... I know complain, complain and finally a view of the down town square and the hill across the way.










I have lots more images but these few give you an idea of where I
have lived for the last 2 months. The town is getting a facelift and when it is done it will be rather quaint... well maybe quaint isn't aword that should be associated with a Moroccan town...drop by sometime and you will see what I mean.

  1. Thanks for the pictures Jim. Kinda' sorta' what I had in mind for the landscape and housing. You'll have to scan and post some of your drawings and paintings.
    Stay healthy,

  5. Thanksgiving wasn't the same without you. The Korthy brew was great. The Pats win was even better. But you were missed every second. Stay warm!
