I dropped off on updating this blog after my travels ended, but this month, I received a message from someone in Morocco responding to one of my blog posts during the time I lived there. In February 2011, I wrote a very frustrated post after I was harassed on the streets of Rabat. A stranger sent me this email responding to the post, and it reminded me of how lovely people can be:
Subject: From Morocco, with love
"I just read your article The Few Times When I Hate Morocco.
It's really sad because this happened in my hometown, Rabat, and in my neighborhood, L'océan.
I just wanted to cheer you up and I hope that you don't hate Morocco that much and that you will come back later.
Best regards!"Thanks Ashraf for the kind note. The good experiences and wonderful people I met outweighed the bad, and I hope to return for a visit someday!
