Morocco, The Long Version (I.E. Brace Yourself. Take it in Bite Sized Pieces.)
Thursday, February 16th, 2006We crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from Algeceiras, Spain to Tangier, Morocco with all the wild enthusiasm yet steely resolve of Columbus approaching his brave new world.
As the estimated 45 minute voyage lumbered into a three hour tour, however, we eventually abandoned our Titanic-esque post on the starboard deck and retired to read in a passenger cabin that smelled of urine. Which is where all similarities to our journey and that of America’s discoverer end…Though we may have made better time if we had in fact taken the Nina, the Pinta or the Santa Maria.
