We are home

Our bed is possibly the most awesome and comfortable place in the universe. Just so you know.

I'll post the rest of the pics from my camera shortly!

Chris's images will come in over the next year, let's face it, but I'll bet that they are worth the wait!

Enjoying our last meal in Morocco at Rick's Cafe


We logged 4,000 km (2400 miles), 14 days, 12 cities, and a bunch of carpets. 

We leave the hotel at 5 am tomorrow to go to Paris, then JFK, then San Fran, then home. That trip will take us 25 hours from start to finish (no time zone change).  Wish us luck!

Lots of pic up on Flickr!

I have been slowly pushing up pictures from my phone from Marrakech and Essaouira to the Morocco set on Flickr!

Here's the photo stream view if you want to see the latest ones first!

This is not photoshopped in any way

No, seriously, I took this photo of this actual scene in real life with my phone:

These goats climb (e)argan trees to eat the fruit. They poop out the seeds. Someone then collects the seeds and they crack them open. Inside is an "almond" which can then be eaten or have the oil extracted for a variety of cosmetic and, more awesomely, food purposes. They make a really awesome peanut butter with it (yep, I have some)!

This was the single silliest thing I saw in Morocco.

We rode camels on the beach in Essaouira

It was super fun! Now I feel done and tired and ready to com home! :-)

Hi from Marrakech!

We arrived in this totally chaotic an frenetic city last night and had a heck of a time finding the tiny back alley where our hotel is, but we finally got here with the aid of several really high men and about 12 small children. Today we went on a walking tour of the city where I promptly forgot my camera, but I had my phone and Chris had his camera, so we were good. Here's some pictures from there (our Internet totally sucks, so I'll post more when I get good Internet):
