Some things I learned, and pictures to share.

Gooood morning!
I learned these things today, and wanted to share. Also, I thought it necessary to post these Halifax pictures before arriving in Cadiz, Spain (in 48 hours!). ALSO, we just found out, we're arriving in Morocco a day early, which means more time to explore on LAND. Trés cool.
1. 3.5 billion people in the world live on less than $2 a day. Think about that the next time you buy a coffee at Starbucks.
2. There are 15 physicians in Ghana for every 100,000 people. Don't you feel lucky right now?
Lastly, today is the first football game of the season, and I'll be wearing my jersey all day! GO BUCKS!

  1. Sounds very exciting so far!! I'm so glad you're loving it :) Good call on the jersey today... GO BUCKS!!

    PS- Saw an ad today for 2 for 1 rate for lifelong learners... that plus my sas alumni discount and it'd be the best trip EVER! Seriously considering it.
