UGA Morocco Summer Program, 2001 On Thursday, May 17, eight students (six from the University of Georgia, one from the University of Charleston [South Carolina] and one from George Washington University [Washington, D.C.]) accompanied by Dr. Godlas, the program director, and Dr. Honerkamp, the assistant director, set out from Atlanta's international airport for Casablanca, Morocco, by way of New York's Kennedy airport. After changing their flight from Lufthansa to Delta, which was necessary because Lufthansa pilots decided to strike on Thursday, the members of the program arrived in Casablanca around 7 am on Friday, where they were supposed to meet with the ninth student on the program, who was originally coming from Galway University in Galway, Ireland. Upon reaching Casablanca airport and clearing customs without a hitch, we met a minibus sent from Marrakech that had been arranged to take us to Marrakech. After enjoying the morning weather in front of the Casablanca airport, the directors were informed by the driver that we were to proceed directly to Marrakech and that the student from Ireland would arrive in Marrakech later in the day by train.

After a week of classes and field trips in their home city of Marrakech, the first trip outside of the city was embarked upon.
