Tweet 3/31/09 First of all let me say that Hanane is okay and thanks to all of you who sent your prayers and well wishes. We are back in Sefrou where she has a doctor who sounds like she actually practices good Western medicine, rather than trusting to some guy who might try to bleed [...]
Tweet 3/24/09 I’ve been feeling a little like a prisoner lately here in Sefrou, but as a prison, it’s a pretty nice place to be. Here is the view from our bedroom window. Errr…the view of the bedroom window. Hanane and I have been running a bit with our friend Yassine, together, and alone. so [...]
Tweet 3/20/09 I asked this question a few months ago and now I have my answer. I am the kind of traveller that is tired of travelling alone. I am the kind of traveller that likes to really dig into a place and experience life there. I am the kind of traveller that wants to [...]
Tweet 3/19/09 I love the Moors…They seem to carry all the mystery and dignity of Africa and foreign conquests about them and they are wonderfully made and fine looking and self respecting.

Tweet 3/11/2009 Yesterday was a holiday here in Morocco. Birth of the Prophet, so we ate a big breakfast of cookies and cake and then killed a sheep. Here are a few pictures. Later we ate the intestines, stomach, heart (stuffed with garlic), forelegs, and other tasty bits. To be honest, while I enjoy eating [...]

Tweet 3/10/09 On Sunday, Hanane and I set out from Sefrou to take a small daytrip to a couple of nice little towns that aren’t too far away. The total for the day with breakfast, lunch, dinner, ice cream, transport, and small gifts for the family was about 287 dirhams, or a little more than [...]
