Today was another day that HT described as his “best day EVER!” on the “Big, Big, Big, Big Adventure.” (Although he did say his favorite thing overall was the “cave castle” in Sintra.) Besides, that, though, here was his favorite part of the trip: This afternoon, the four of us went out to the western […]
We landed in Marrakesh, Morocco a couple of days ago via a flight from Seville. (We’ve told HT that the reason he has to give up his froggy backpack at the security checkpoint is so they can check to make sure no aliens are inside. That’s something he can process pretty well, but makes for […]
Hi everyone, I’ll try to write more tonight, but am sharing a quick post now to say we made it safely to Morocco a couple of days ago. HT likes it here and it’s the same as anywhere else for CR. So far, the food has been wonderful and we’ve discovered the perfect way to […]

After customs, etc., that put […]
