Here’s a distillation of the best and worst of our trip around the world. We lots of fun putting this together during the final weeks of our trip. Most useful item we brought with us: Mitch’s swiss army knife. We used it for everything from extracting a sea urchin spine from Mitch’s foot at the […]

Exercise on the Road
Here is a blog that I wrote earlier in the trip and forgot to post. Perhaps I was was hoping my exercise routine would be more regular at some point. It was always sporadic at best. At any rate, here are some thoughts about exercise on the road. Those of you who know Mitch will […]
Fez and London
We’ve been so busy traveling that we’ve neglected our blog for the past few weeks. Here are some of Emma’s journal entries to get you all a little up to date. October 24, 25, 26 Today we took a bus to Fez. When we got there we went into the Medina. There were a bunch […]
Riding with Sheep and Hiking with Apes in the Atlas Mountains
October 19 – 23 The day after skiing the dunes we hopped onto a bus to travel to the Atlas Mountains. We saw some women hanging out with some sheep by the baggage compartment. We wondered if the sheep were riding with us. Sure enough, just before departure, they loaded the sheep into the luggage […]
Skiing the Dunes

Prayer of Serenity Opportunity
When we left on this trip, we knew that despite all the crime, terrorism, disease and natural disasters in the parts of the world that we would be visiting, that the most dangerous thing we would do on this trip would be to get in a car. On the 13th we tested that knowledge when […]
Going to Marrakech (and Beyond)
We spent three nights in Marrakesh. It was a great first experience for Morocco. The kids had been looking forward to Morocco because it is the first really unique and exotic country we have been to. Sure, Nicaragua and Honduras, as well as the European countries were different than home, but people basically dressed the […]
A New Continent
Morocco, October 3- 8 We stopped on a busy street on the edge of a pedestrian walkway teeming with people. “Just walk up here,” said the taxi driver gesturing vaguely down the street. “Your hotel is not far.” We gathered our bags and set off in what we hoped was the direction of the main […]
