In Chefchaouen I spent a weekend walking all over with close friends and engaging with friendly shop owners who were so happy to speak with me in Arabic. We walked up one of the surrounding mountains to visit the Spanish mosque at sunset. Looking out over the city I was also looking back on my experience in Morocco. I remember feeling so grateful for close friendships and the mountains in those moments. After spending time in this beautiful blue city I felt so ready to put my Arabic knowledge into practice and to explore more places, while remembering to more carefully appreciate sunsets and the people around me.
