Coming Home, part deux

March 5th, 2008 · 33 Comments

Dinner is finished. It’s really kind of good the trip is ending because I am ready to be home.

No one mentioned the Ohio and Texas races! (Ok, not in my quick review anyway…) It think it’s really big news to…

Coming Home

March 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

(For you young ‘uns, it’s another old movie title…)

It’s the last night and we’re back in Casablanca. I’m at the Le Meridian. There were rose petals in my toilet. (So not me.)

Cross your fingers and hope that my luggage comes…

Crosseyed

February 28th, 2008 · 6 Comments

I’m having so much fun I can barely see straight. We have a three hour ride today and I intend to be drooling and snoring for the most of it. Catching up with my travel buddies can wait for another…

February 27th, 2008 · 51 Comments

Dan Ertl, Director of Community Development for the City of Brookfield, and I might be able to compromise on this city. You see, every building can only be one color, a desert red. That’s the part that Dan would probably…

Me again.

February 27th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Spent all day in the tiny streets of Marrakesh. Good grief, why would anyone sing about this place? Off to dinner soon. I haven’t even looked at today’s photos, so we’ll all be surprised together later.

Anything going on at home…

Day two photos

February 27th, 2008 · No Comments

Day three crosseyed from a little time zone problem. I stayed up way too late last night transferring pictures to my hard drive.

Yesterday I mentioned a trip from Marrakesh to the High Atlas mountains. We stopped in a traditional Berber…

Luggage found me!

February 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I am very pleased.

Today was an amazing trip into the High Atlas Mountains. I’ll write it all tonight and put some pictures up tomorrow - probably 1:00 a.m. or so. (Oh, don’t wait up.) I have to hang out in…

A lovely first day

February 26th, 2008 · 26 Comments

Still no signs of the suitcase carrying those daily luxuries like deodorant or toothpaste, though. I’m surprising even myself at how resilient I am on this one. My tripod is in the case, too, so I’m having to limit some…

The promise of luggage

February 25th, 2008 · 20 Comments

By 9:00pm tonight in Marrakesh. We’ll see. I am going to have to find a toothbrush in this unusual country.

Somethings are worth the effort.

I’ll pop in a view from my hotel room in a few minutes if all goes well.

Here…

Je suis fatigue

February 24th, 2008 · No Comments

My luggage, however, is still partying in London. There’s a chance I won’t see it for the entire trip. Go figure. Of course I have my camera equipment (sans tripod), laptop, and a few daily necessities with me. I could,…
