I though I would post one last blog about Morocco, as the rain in Savannah comes pouring down in sheets. I didn’t think I would miss the hot and dusty desert, but it does have its positive points.
After having a week or so to reflect, regroup, and catch up on sleep and photography work, this is a one last quick list of thoughts on my trip.
Full Post after the link.
So Here Goes:
In the last two months I:
Statistics:
Traveled a total of: 11,275 Miles
Passed through 2 Countries: Morocco (57 Days) and Spain (7 Days)
(Possibly Algeria too, the border in the Sahara is sketchy and disputed.)
Added 6 new stamps to my passport.
(2 entries & exits for Morocco, and 1 entry and exit for the EU)
Traveled by:
Petite Taxi
Grand Taxi
Bus
Train
Ferry
Camel
My Own 2 Feet
Got sunburned only once!
Lost 32 lbs (Yeah, you read that right)
Took 10,177 digital photos
Drank about 2 liters of H20 a day. (trying that now makes me nauseous)
Ate snails, brains and tongue.
Was questioned by 2 police departments
Met 46 fellow travelers from:
USA
France
Australia
England
Scotland
Canada
Spain
Italy
The Netherlands
Reflections:
I can pack 2 shirts, 2 boxers, 2 pairs of socks, and a pair of pants – and be fine for 2 months
I have realized the kindness of strangers, and the importance it plays for travelers
I appreciate the quality that comes from simple ingredients
I prefer small shops to the uber-supermarkets
I witnessed the death of two chickens, and felt none of the shame that comes from our mass-causality method of food processing
I cannot imagine drinking green tea without mint ever again
I cannot possibly capture all of the experiences, thoughts and feelings that this trip evoked
I’m sure there will be more that comes up in the future.
Keep checking out the blog, more good things to come!
