Let me first give you the back-story behind this list. Back in July, I was working at a summer camp in the coastal town of El Jadida here in Morocco. The camp was mostly run by Moroccan staff, and us American volunteers ran classes in the mornings and afternoons. Other than those times, though, we were mostly free to do as we pleased. AKA, we had a lot of time on our hands. My best friend here in country was also working at the camp with me, and, inevitably, when you put the two of us together, we tend to talk about all the things we miss about America.
One day, we happened to sit down and write a list of "The Best Things In The World!!" and post it on the wall to try and give everyone a much deserved smile. I was going through some old pictures today trying to find something, and came across the picture of the list we had made during camp, and figured it deserved to be shared with the world. When you're in the Peace Corps, it can sometimes be tough to keep your spirits up, and making this list (and stumbling back across it today), is just one example of how the little things in life are what truly make for a good day.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do:
