Dec. 22nd – 25th Well, from here on out this whole things slows to a crawl and we drop into the sleepy beachside vibe of Essaouira.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my travels with you both! Your descriptiveness, humor, photos...I almost feel as though I was there! Thank you for sharing your incredible journey. Again I say...I really do see a book in these blogs. You have brought to life places that most will never get to experience like you have. Kudos to you both! So proud to call you family and friends! Much love!!

Spain and Morocco
I just binge read all your blogs from this trip! For the most part, we seem to have had similar thoughts about Morocco and its people. Sorry to read about your panic attack, that would have been awful. Nice recovery in Essaouira though :)

Thanks for reading
I'm happy to say it was my first and last severe anxiety attack, which given the state of the world is surprising! I'm looking forward to reading your next installment(s). If you're curious about our SE Asia (it includes my directing a show that stars landmine victims) or India/Nepal including a surprise (really) visit to Kashmir, let me know an email address and I can send the files. Where are you hoping to visit first once you can travel again? As you know, you may have been instrumental in our likelihood of it being Loas. Best, Steve
