It is 23:45 and we are in our Riad in Marakeesh!! An exciting taxi ride; and walk through several blocks of the old quarter to our place we’re sleeping for two nights — the sights and sounds were amazing (including the little boy attempting to unzipper our luggage as another boy (who we paid) pulled [...]

Today I can’t blame difficulty accessing the Internet (I might have said this before, but access to wireless is very hard to find and very pricey in Spain – we Americans clearly take it for granted!) for not posting for three days!

Hola from Granada! This past Saturday we enjoyed our last day in Seville with souvenir hunting (can’t tell you what we bought until the recipients receive them!), but thank goodness we left some extra room in our luggage.
