Morocco is an exotic land. The smell of spices stewing in lamb tangines. The brightly colored scarves that it seems everybody wears. The sticky feel of the midday sun heat against your covered skin.

SherriOct. 8: Now it’s really late. The subways shut down at 1:40 AM on Saturdays and we caught ours in the nick of time. It’s been a full day. From the Bastille in the east to the Pont d’Alma in the west and things in between, we have covered a lot of real estate today.

SherriOct. 13: Dan and I are back from our final walk to Rossio and it’s after 1am. We started our day in an easy going fashion, because what the heck – we are on vacation after all. Blogging at a café and watching the world go by is a very European way of passing the time.
