The Cold Land of the Hot Sun


Life as a Peace Corps worker is challanging. Everything from learning the language to eating can be difficult, but I look forward to easier days in the future. This is a hot and dry country, and my favorite part of the day is at dawn or dusk when the temperature changes drastically. You can literally feel the heat coming or going because there is very little water in the environment to stablize the temperature. One of the first phrases I heard coming to Morocco was "the cold land of the hot sun," and it is so true. The days are scortching and at night I sleep under blankets.
