M C Abbott - Mary Claire Abbott

My sister and I live in three month intervals. First Morocco, then DC, and now onto Nepal. After that we are settling on different continents, but commitment (whether a job in her case, or school in mine) can not cure the travel bug. So until the point when both of us are too old to function and eating chocolate like there's no tomorrow (that's the "i give up" point), expect blogs, photos, and infatigable continental ADD.

You can check out our Morocco blog at www.mytb.org/The-Sisterhood-of-the-Traveling-Djellabahs. But please don't expect any repeat performances from this blog. The entirety of the Morocco blog was written by sister. I will post a link to her blog once she has it up and running.

I came at the best time of day: dusk, when you can stare right at the sun as it sets in the dusty Saharan sky. The first part of our drive, through farmland and occassional suburban sprawl, was quiet besides my driver's honking which would begin immediately as the light turned green, whether or not the cars in front of us had started moving. Once we reached the city, itself [View Full Entry]

Upon graduation, as an Abbott family rite of passage, my parents gave me the opportunity to travel to any destination (within reason) for an outdoor adventure of my choice. My sister Libby, not one to shy away from a challenge, chose to conquer Mt. Kilimanjaro at the young age of 17. Overcoming the altitude-related challenges was no small feat, but she summitted. With her graduation of college, she and dad climbed the more technical Mt. Hood in Oregon. Although less elevated, the climb turned the two of them off of technical climbing. When it came to planning my trip, Dad was [View Full Entry]

You are about to embark on an incredible life-safari -G-Ma July 2007 The Abbott children have a disease, which we call "continental ADD". Patients with this self-diagnosed disorder often attempt to cram as many travels into a year as both their budget and mother will allow. Indeed, it was our mother that instilled in us an insatiable desire to travel. From a young age, my mother would take us out of school for four to six weeks at a time, to explore the Indonesian archipelago, discover the forgotten temples of Bagan, Burma, road-trip in Zapatista territory in Chiapas, Mexico.
