Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

Elsewhere 2010

For every summer since 2006, we've gone Elsewhere for the duration.

Here's a hint for where we're going this summer (because I'm a nerd like that):

And another hint:

And a few more:
-We're going there for Jeremy to work with a study abroad program.
-It's a place we've never lived before.
-In fact, we've never even been there before.
-But we have been to the country it's in.
-Why yes, that IS the Mediterranean Sea!
-It was a well known city way back when (like WAY back when) because of its lighthouse and library.
-We're really excited.

OK, so that last one isn't a hint but it's true, we are excited. And for those of you who have been there and know what we're in for, don't worry, we are not expecting a European-style Mediterranean heaven. I know it will be moderately dirty and stinky and inconvenient and I won't hardly be able to wear a bathing suit on the beach for fear of becoming pasty eye candy for all the local shebaab, but who cares? I think we're going to have a great experience, and it will be fun to go somewhere new for once.

(Here's the answer of where we're going for the summer of 2010 - just highlight to reveal: ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT.)
