Sometimes I go back and read some of the earlier ones just to experience it again. Hard to believe it has been 8 months since you left! Anna still has her pig puppet your mom gave her at your going away party 8 months ago Laini. Keep adventuring and take care you two!
7th October 2008 Annmarie	Great photos - From: Rescued from the Township (and The Big 5 at Kruger) Looks like you hade a great time there.

6th October 2008 Dawn	Safe Travels! - From: Rescued from the Township (and The Big 5 at Kruger) It's so wonderful to hear about your travels! I'm sorry that they may get fewer and further between! Travel safe and have way too much fun!
6th October 2008 Julie and Family	Fantastic Journey! - From: Rescued from the Township (and The Big 5 at Kruger) Hello PnL! I have finally had the time to catch up on ALL the blogs! I have to say the journals and the pictures are absolutely amazing. It is definitely a trip of a lifetime. I have not been able to get Mom(Gladys to read all the blogs, hoefully on Wednesday, she'll be here in the evening), I know she'll enjoy the family photos. I had someone ask me when you are planning on returning, I was not sure. Do you have date? Kelly is in Lagos, Nigeria until the 13th of October, so if you are back in the area, i'll send you his email there. NB. It's dipping down to 2 degrees celcius on Friday here in Calgary. Unfortunately, winter is on it's way already. Maybe a lengthened stay is warranted?? Take care, safe travels and blog soon! Love Julie, Kelsea and Austin
6th October 2008 John	Hey. - From: Rescued from the Township (and The Big 5 at Kruger) Ha ha, I'd lie if I said I didn't have a quiet laugh about the Greenbacked Parrot, I think me and Rog must have mentioned them so often that you blocked it out! I've got to say thanks to you guys for being absolutely amazing and for putting up with me and Rog and our Greenbacked Parrots, and next time we'll try our very best to get you close to a hippo;). Have a fantastic trip and I hope to see you guys again in a few months time, I'll start chilling the beers so long for sundowners at Crook's corner!!
Peter & Laini 6th October 2008 pnltravels	Oops - From: Rescued from the Township (and The Big 5 at Kruger) Thanks for the reminder about sitting on a hippo's back! How could I forget that! We appreciate the correct bird names, we were sure you or John would correct us! Thanks! pnl

Laini thanks so much for recommending Stellenbosch wines. I picked up a bottle of Eikendal Classique 2004 last weekend. Very nice! I was curious about your picnic basket of cheese. Knowing Peter and his love for smelly cheese people must be able to smell you guys coming from a mile away. Maybe that's why you are seeing so much wildlife? Take care of each other & wish I was there, Georgia

15th August 2008 Charlene	- From: Livin' it Up in the Western Cape - South Africa All I can say is ENVIOUS. I am so jealous you got to touch a Cheetah and hold a bird of prey WOW
14th August 2008 Cindy	Isn't it Amazing - From: Livin' it Up in the Western Cape - South Africa I loved Stellenbosch too!!! And we went to Spier winery!! The Cheetahs are so cool and I loved all the loungy couches they have there. It's so neat hearing your perpesctive on some of the places I visited and loved too!!!
12th August 2008 Nicky	Livin' it up indeed! - From: Livin' it Up in the Western Cape - South Africa Hey Laini - great job on the blogging here (to both the authors ... I'm guessing there's some team work involved!). I've been following along on your travels from good old MRC with only a small amount of envy ;-) but this last post pushed that right over the top (partially due to the beautiful coastal pictures and possibly a little due to the winery/vineyard talk ...). Looking forward to the next installment - and more SA wine recommendations! Travel safely, Nicky
Peter & Laini 7th August 2008 pnltravels	Thanks Jen! - From: Goodbye Ghana! Goodbye West Africa! Hi Jen, Thanks for the note and the well wishes. We are wishing you and Remy the best in your new adventure as well! Congrats!
Peter & Laini 7th August 2008 pnltravels	Yummy Wines - From: Livin' it Up in the Western Cape - South Africa Hey there! Thanks for the note. We didn't get to Two Oceans, but we may go back that way again yet. No ice wine (never gets cold enough), but we have sampled some lovely Late Harvest wines. They do very lovely "natural sweet wines" which are not as sweet as an ice wine, but are definitely not dry. Very lovely and cheap! Don't know when we will be back yet - hard to say as we still have so much we want to see - but our bank account will really dictate when we come home! Not sure if you get Stellekaya wines at home - but if so, definitely try one!!
5th August 2008 Georgia	Two Oceans - From: Livin' it Up in the Western Cape - South Africa Hi Guys! Are you planning on doing more wine tours? Did you happen to make it to Two Oceans Wines in Stellenbosch? Do they make ice wine there or is it just too warm? No to rush you but any idea when you'll be making your way back to Canada? Take care! Love from Georgia, Dave & Erica
31st July 2008 Dawn	Colour me envious! - From: Livin' it Up in the Western Cape - South Africa I am so jealous that you got to pet a cheetah!! Keep up the great posts!
19th July 2008 Mo Forster	hello again! - From: Goodbye Ghana! Goodbye West Africa! Thanks for the new entry! I just love hearing about your adventures. I have to admit that I think I was going through withdrawal! I'm off to England on Sunday for 5 weeks. Dasha's due date is on July 29th and Simon is flying back to England from Kandahar on July 28th. Hopefully the baby will hang on until then before making his grand entrance! I will keep you posted. Take care and keep safe. Mo
19th July 2008 Jen Bruce	Southward Bound - From: Goodbye Ghana! Goodbye West Africa! Sounds like you have had some pretty incredible journeys/experiences on this leg of the trip! We still think of you often at work Laini, and certainly miss your energy and your laugh.. yes, definitely your laugh!

17th July 2008 Cindy	- From: Goodbye Ghana! Goodbye West Africa! So sorry to hear of the passing of your friend Peter. Make sure you enjoy some South African wine while in SA. Did you get my message regarding my African plans? Cheers Cindy
17th July 2008 Kathy	- From: Goodbye Ghana! Goodbye West Africa! Hey guys! Again, love the blog!! Its so cool to see all your pictures and read of your adventures. Summer in Calgary has been pleasant so far, not too hot and lots of thunder storms. I think we've had a storm every day in July. The last one was rough on our flowers but I think they'll pull through. Jadyn and I are off to Invermere/Kimberly for a week. Mandy is staying home to write a paper (sucks to be her). We're taking the trailer and staying at our friend's cabin near Invermere for 4 nights. Then we're going to Wasa lake to camp with our old neighbours for 3 nights. The weather is supposed to be great. My friend's have a boat, and I'm hoping to get Jadyn out on the tube. We went and got Jadyn's school uniforms the other day. Can't believe she's going to kindergarten! She's going to a TLC (Traditional Learning Centre, similar to Kelsea and Austin's) school and will wear a uniform. We'll send you some first day of school pictures (if I can see through the tears to take pictures!) Peter, so sorry to hear of your friend Lorne. Take care you guys, be safe! Love and hugs, KAth
16th July 2008 Charlene	- From: Goodbye Ghana! Goodbye West Africa! Wow I thought we lost you for a moment there hadn't seen an entry for awhile was a little concerned sorry to hear about your friend Peter.

Just in time for my coffee break this morning! I can't tell you how much I enjoy reading your entries!!! This is so cool...helps keep the missing you blues down to a dull roar! Stampede came and went this year almost without me knowing! Although I did dig out some photos and took Dave for a stroll down the "Pam and Laini Memory Lane". We had some good laughs...remember "Buck toothed Bob the Bull Rider"???? ooohhh... how I laugh over that memory! Too much fun! The Wli waterfall looks like an amazing place!!!! Well, should get back to work! Thank you again for sharing your travels...I can hardly believe it has been 5 months!!!!! I know that you are both having a wonderful time....we are so happy for you.. but still miss the heck out of you!!!!! Please give each other a big hug with an extra long squeeze from all of us!!! Thank you again for the birthday card! Lots of love, Pam and family.
13th July 2008 Colleen and Glenn	We've moved... - From: Surf's Up!! Hi there, I'm sitting here with no cable TV in my little 2 bedroom shack thinking what shall I do? I do have high speed internet so it is quite a treat to catch up with your travel stories and the fabulous pictures. Keep them coming, it is my entertainment for my quiet evenings in the country. I thoroughly enjoyed your entry with the elephants, monkeys and hippos, it made me think about how it would be the see those animals in the wild. Exciting stuff to read never mind actually see. Take care you two!
9th July 2008 Diana Fletcher	Hi from Mount Royal College - From: Surf's Up!! Hey Laini I finally got time to look at some of your blogs and it is amazing! It looks like you are having a wonderful time. I am envious! Some day I would love to do what you are doing. However my husband says I would never survive. That morning and evening walk above the rain forest looks so fabulous. Anyhow, thanks for letting me live vicariously through your blog. Hope to see you one of these days after you have finished your wonderful travels.
8th July 2008 liz	Stampede BBQ - From: Surf's Up!! Hi Guys, Read your blog - sounds & looks amazing! OCP Stampede BBQ tomorrow. Will miss seeing you there! Having burgers & dogs - bet your jealous!

27th June 2008 Charlene	- From: Surf's Up!! So did Peter like his hair cut and what about you Laini have you been tempted to cut yours?Again thanks for the card I love it. Both the post card and card are on my fridge, they talk to the plants when we are out. LOL so if you have not heard we got a puppy and she ( Klowie) is very cute, however Riccos beak was a little out of joint for the first few days. But he has come to terms with it now and loves to tease her to try and get her in trouble. We can hardly wait to read more of your adventure and see the wonderful pictures and thanks for taking more of the two of you together. LOVE IT!!
24th June 2008 Maureen	Language of the Continent - From: Surf's Up!! I must say, I'm continually surprised that you keep running into locals who speak French. Have you met anyone who speaks Arabic? Or other languages that one would expect to find in Africa? I'm starting to wonder just who ran that continent for so long - the French? hahaha And I must add that signing up for the notification for new blog entries was the best thing I ever did. :) Glad to hear you're still enjoying and TRAVELLING! I would have been out of cash months ago!
17th June 2008 Pam, Dave and the Girlz	Perfect Timing!!! - From: Going to Ghana Hey there! Thank you so much for the card it arrived today, the 16th!!!!

Laini, I would help you put a bowl on your head anyday too!!! Lots of love to you both! We look forward to more entries on your blog!
15th June 2008 Bronwyn	Hi from Bronwyn - From: Going to Ghana Laini and Peter you guys are so adventurous and you apparently don't need much sleep to get things done (I think Donald Trump is the same way). That bug pic is a beautiful shot but I can't imagine swimming with a bunch of those (did they steal all the pool loungers too?). The charging warthog and the ketchup-bandit were fun stories-thank you for sharing! I have been loving all the details of this life-changing trip. Keep 'em coming. Love B
12th June 2008 Pam	How fabulous! - From: Going to Ghana Hey you two....loved the entry! The charging Momma warthog was great! I am sure it wasn't funny when it was happening though! The photos and the entry are just brilliant! Glad the alarm clock is working well!!! Sending you lots of love....wish you were here, but so pleased you are there....miss you much!!! Pam
9th June 2008 Mum Linda.	could I send you curry Pies!!!! - From: Going to Ghana you are very brave ,,, we enjoyed your blog it very interesting sitting in that bus I can just picture peter & Laini at the back of a rickety bus any way it a wonderful experience , God bless take care , much Love Mum.
7th June 2008 Georgia	Coffee woes - From: Going to Ghana Hey you guys! Dave was surprised to learn about you having trouble finding coffee. After all some of the best coffee comes from Africa. That's some big scary bug that was in the pool. How do you like sleeping outdoors? Do the bugs make it through the bug screens? I don't think you've mentioned spiders yet or mosquitoes. Have you seen any? Have they bothered you? Take care of each other, Georgia
7th June 2008 Jo	Warthogs - From: Going to Ghana I have to agree with Maureen, when I saw the picture of the baby? warthog, I was thinking it was a little big. I am thinking about you this weekend as it is the MS bicycle race to Olds and it looks like it is going to be a rainy one. I am sure the team is going to miss you this year. You both look like you are having loads of fun, Pete better watch out, those women may want to keep him around to pump water. Love the pics and stories about the animals. Travel safe and take care.
5th June 2008 Mo and David Forster	avocados - From: The Lush Corner of Burkina Faso Hey, can you take a couple of pics of these ginormous avocados and post them? Now I'm really curious! Mo
4th June 2008 Maureen	Warthogs leave the nest? - From: Going to Ghana I'm thinking that warthog is a little old to be feeding with Momma still! Did you ever get to scratch the elephant between her ears after she charged you? That would have been awesome! Although, I'm sure the scare was awesome too! hehehe
4th June 2008 Ruth	Monkey's! - From: Going to Ghana Well what an OLN adventure you both are having! I love reading your blogs. I must say I do not like Monkey's. When we went Bali I refused to go into the monkey forest, they will steal anything in your pocket. The ketchup story reminded me of how fast and daring they are. Take care, love Ruthie
4th June 2008 Charlene	- From: Going to Ghana Wow what an amazing place to see all the animals like that I am so envious right now. I hope to see many more pics in the future when you come back IF you come back It seems like you are really enjoying it too bad you can't buy a car and drive yourself everywhere!
Peter & Laini 2nd June 2008 pnltravels	Millipede - From: The Lush Corner of Burkina Faso I tried to get one of the guys to eat it, but no one would - just not that adventurous! Maybe if it was roasted ...

Peter & Laini 21st May 2008 pnltravels	Fuel prices - From: Leaving Mali For Burkina Faso Gas in West Africa is not cheap, we figure it has been over a dollar a litre everywhere, but in Burkina it is a little higher, closer to two dollars a litre. But still, the motorbike takes less than a Jeep anyday!

19th May 2008 c	- From: Leaving Mali For Burkina Faso How much was gas there ? Here it is a whopping 125.9 for the most part I bet it was way cheaper to fill that bike and fix both tires than it is to fill my Jeep LOL. I'm jealous you got to ride the camel enjoy yourselves and read you soon.
19th May 2008 Charlene	- From: Pays Dogon - Dogon Country Grant and I were just saying the same thing when you get home you should make this into a book

25th April 2008 Ulrike in Vancouver	Love your Ami story - From: From The Gambia Back to Senegal Hey, just rediscovered your blog while I was spring-cleaning my email. Big, warm hugs and SO GLAD you are having a good trip and sharing the stories and pix.
25th April 2008 Diane	- From: The Road Less Travelled - The Gambia Hi there Pete and Laini...so glad you are enjoying the Orange Fanta wish you had the chicken chips to compliment it..but then again you will have to wait for the Cape to do that...have fun and I wish u both happy travels...love Diane xoxoxo
21st April 2008 Meghan	Hip Hippo Hurray - From: From The Gambia Back to Senegal I love it - your so lucky to see such a big group of hippos, not to mention all the other animals. Funny I don't think they mentioned on Discovery channel that baboons like pb&j too!! Its been so great living vicarously through you travels - thank you for the great experiences! (I tried to comment before, but I think my computer has a mind of its own...fyi Mark is home...lets just say I get a man servant for the next two years!) love to you both, Meg
17th April 2008 Maureen	Wonderful Memoirs - From: From The Gambia Back to Senegal I am reminded of how documenting your journey like this will leave you with something that can bring back ALL of the memories of the trip, at any time in the future, long after the major highlights have faded. And Laini, I'm certain that it wasn't the Africans you were not interested in seeing in Georgetown, it was more the constant hard sell that you needed a break from. That it came from locals who apparently were black Africans had nothing to do with it. So Peter is white now? hahaha How many nationalities has he been on this trip so far? Love the sharing, keep it up!
17th April 2008 Charlene	now that i'm crying - From: From The Gambia Back to Senegal It always amazes me how some people just ruin things for the rest no matter what country they are in, there is always one ass who just has to be that an ass and make peoples lives like there own , cause that is the whole problem they are not happy so lets make everyone unhappy. It seems to be there goal and somehow makes them feel superior but it only makes them an ass.I'm glad you showed them that not all " WHITE" people are this way!!!On a happier note I WANT TO GO TO THAT PARK and see all those animalswill you come get me and take me too PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!!!by the wat the plants are fine no need to fret about them take your time and enjoy Africa they are behaving themselves and have not fussed while you've been away they do miss you though. Toodles for now
17th April 2008 Ruth	Thanks! - From: From The Gambia Back to Senegal Hi Pete & Laini, Thanks again for your heart warming blog! After a very taxing day of Tax Season stress (excuse the pun) it was so encouraging to hear how you have embraced the people of Africa and that colour is not an issue. We are all people, our skin colour or language gives people a difference which makes life interesting. However, the reason you are treated with a cold reception is because they think all white people are the same. What a wonderful friendship you have established! Keep giving the love! Take care, Love Ruthie
15th April 2008 Doug & Ev	Nothing I Say Is As Exciting As Your Trip - From: The Road Less Travelled - The Gambia Hi! Guys, We are thoroughly enjoying your commentary and pics of your adventure to Afreeekaaa!!!! Doug has taken to seeing where you are on GOOGLE EARTH. He is right on top of you folks, so you will always know you are being watched.!! Calgary is much the same. We had a huge snowfall last Thursday. I bet you miss that! Cheers to you both. The Milne's
12th April 2008 Charlene	cool journey - From: The Road Less Travelled - The Gambia Again I am envious and wish I was there with the 2 of you. Can't wait for the next adventure to come thru the computer. And for the return of the 2 of you to see all the photos . You guys are going to have to have a big get together at a couple of places to do a presentation for all of us.
12th April 2008 Ruth	Hi Travellers - From: The Road Less Travelled - The Gambia Hi Pete & Laini, Thanks, I look forward to reading your blogs and all the wonderful details you include. Traveling is such a great learning experience you cannot get this in a class room or text book. Keep safe and well! love Ruth

Peter & Laini 27th March 2008 pnltravels	Donkeys - From: Crossing the Border/River into Senegal Us city folk didn't know that they would give chase. I just thought they would kick the crap out of a coyote if attacked. I'm learning so much on this trip!
27th March 2008 Jo	Donkeys - From: Crossing the Border/River into Senegal Yes it is true they will put the chase on the dog. Our neighbors have two full size donkeys and they are meant to chase coyotes away from the cows. I know from experience when we take the dog down to visit them if the dog enters their pen they will put the chase on her like nobody's business. Looks like you are both very relaxed and having a wonderful time. Travel safe. Jo
Peter & Laini 26th March 2008 pnltravels	Hello - From: Easter in the Casamance We're so glad to hear that you are enjoying our blog and photos! Thanks for taking the time to send a note, we really appreciate it. The postcard is via snail mail, and from Africa it could mean about 3 weeks, or when ever it gets there. All the best in your move and new job, keep us posted on how things go! Lots of love, Peter and Laini

Peter & Laini 26th March 2008 pnltravels	Dreaming of Indian Food - From: Easter in the Casamance You have no idea how much we would have liked to be with you for Indian Food!! At home we are definitely spoiled with the variety of food options. Here, not so much. We are not starving though, I'm sure you can see that in the photos!
Peter & Laini 26th March 2008 pnltravels	Hotel CTM - From: The Spectacle of Marrakesh Hey there, I think we paid about 30 dollars for the cheap place and the expensive one was at least 60 or more. For the amount of time we spent in the room the cheap place was just fine!
26th March 2008 Charlene	wow 14.00 bucks a night i wish - From: Easter in the Casamance thats awesome 14.00 per night wow Bahamas was a rip off then LOL Miss you guys we went for Indian last night and said wow wonder what Peter and Laini are eating tonight, bet they would have liked to come with us Oh well maybe next time they will be back and can come with us!!!

25th March 2008 Maureen	CTM hotel - From: The Spectacle of Marrakesh Did you inquire as to the price of the fancy part of the hotel? I always wonder about such things. Glad you guys are still going strong! I would have been back home and broke about 6 weeks ago!
25th March 2008 Martina	Happy Easter - From: Easter in the Casamance It seems you have finally had a bit of a vacation during your travels! What a wonder full adventure for both of you. I have enjoyed reading through your blog and catching up to your news. (I'm home today with a cold and too fuzzy headed to work.) Take care :) PS Its spring time in Alberta
25th March 2008 anonymous	- From: Easter in the Casamance Hiya Pete & Laini! Wasn't sure is you'd be able to read our newsletter! It was great to hear from you personally! I've/we've been following your travels - how EXCITING, fun, & adventurous!!! (We admit, we're a 'little' jealous as we read your travel journals!) :) Ah! The thrill of travelling! (It arouses/awakens the Gypsy in me!) RE: The postcard, did you send it via snailmail or email? (I'm guessing snailmail?) That's okay, Dan is still here, so he'll just forward everything to me...I'll get it sooner or later! Loved this recent comment & photos of your Easter paradise; makes me wish I were there! ;) Luv, Lori-Ann, Dan, & the Katz!
24th March 2008 Michiel & Sylvia	Rosso - From: Crossing the Border/River into Senegal We had similar experiences at the Rosso border crossing. All sorts of guys approached us, one was even dressed as a fake policeman and asked for our passports. Others warned we would be arrested if we carry ougyas into Senegal. On the way back, as we got off the pirogue, we were hounded by a group of about 10 people (including policemen, real ones!) all screaming that we should hand over our passports. Rosso is indeed quite an unpleasant border crossing. On the way back we tried crossing at Diama but found there is no public transport on the mauritanian side. We liked St. Louis and its colonial crumbling buildings. The fishing village is indeed a very "smelly" but fascinating experience!
24th March 2008 Mo and David Forster	economy travel! - From: The Adrar Adventure I will never complain about flying in economy class again! Your posts and travels are incredible. Take care, Mo
22nd March 2008 Wayne	- From: Crossing the Border/River into Senegal Now you know why farmer's in Alberta have donkeys in the pasture with the sheep,cows etc.. so Wylie Coyote can`t get an easy meal. Take care
22nd March 2008 marty	coinkydink - From: The Adrar Adventure nice to run into youguys again on the boat. take care out there. don't get bitten by any goats.
Peter & Laini 21st March 2008 pnltravels	Not as Young as we Used to Be - From: Crossing the Border/River into Senegal Yes, some of the adventures are painful, and we recover slower than we used to, but we are still having the time of our lives! Thanks so much for the note! We love to hear from home! Happy Easter everyone! pnl
Peter & Laini 21st March 2008 pnltravels	Ain't no Eeyore! - From: Crossing the Border/River into Senegal And here all along we thought Donkeys were such docile creatures. So great to hear from you Trouble and Strife! pnl
21st March 2008 Glenda & Steve	Wow, What an adventure you are on!! - From: Crossing the Border/River into Senegal We so enjoy reading your blog, some of your adventures sound rather painful! Lani, great job with the story telling. Keep safe and have fun. Glenda & Steve
20th March 2008 Cindy	Donkeys - From: Crossing the Border/River into Senegal Hey Laini!! Loving following along with you on your trip!!! I too had a donkey experience when I was in Texas visiting my Dad, I was feeding a donkey some apples and my Dad's dog got too close and the donkey hee-hawed very loudly for about 30 seconds I have never seen a donkey go off like that before, if there wasn't a fence between the donkey and dogs I think he would have charged too!!
Peter & Laini 20th March 2008 pnltravels	Photos - From: Crossing the Border/River into Senegal Sorry about the black box photos. If you click on them, or use the scroll function you should be able to view them. Not sure what happened there, but they are there. Thanks, pnl

17th March 2008 Sylvia and Michiel	- From: The Adrar Adventure Hi, what a pitty that we did not meet here. We like our stay in st. Louis and we will not go on to Dakar. We are in auberge Louisiana, a very nice place to stay. In the meantime we got used to the noisy city after the relaxing silence of Mauritania. You still have to be a little bit patient untill you can see pictures. I did not take the wire with me to transfer them. So enjoy your trip and take care regards Sylvia and Michiel (sorry for all my mistakes in English.....)
Peter & Laini 17th March 2008 pnltravels	Bruised Butt - From: The Adrar Adventure Unfortunately I did not think of asking Peter to kiss it better - damn! Thanks for the note Charlene, hope you and Grant are well!

16th March 2008 Michiel and Sylvia	- From: The Adrar Adventure Hi! What a great story! It really describes our journey very well. The rest of the trip with Abdullah went very well. We travelled to the area south of Adrar which is a system of very beautiful dry river beds. We even added an extra day at the end of the trip. We stopped to drink lots of cups of tea with some of Adullaha's friends. We took lots of pictures, we'll send you some. In the meantime we are now in St Louis in Senegal. Crossing the border at Rosso was quite a hassle, but St Louis is definitely an interesting town. Take care Michiel and Sylvia
14th March 2008 Charlene	- From: Waiting in Rabat the pics look so good love it
14th March 2008 Charlene	- From: The Adrar Adventure wow what a journey hopefully Peter kissed your ass better LOL

Today, in the desert we were able to wash and have everything dry in less than 2 hours - it is hot!!! 37° in the shade kinda hot! Thanks for all your comments Mo, we love to hear from you! Lots of love, Laini and Peter

29th February 2008 Maureen	Couscous - Fridays... - From: From the Top of Africa Usually couscous is served on Fridays, the Muslim day of rest, when the family gathers for a midday meal. That would be why they only serve it on Fridays!
29th February 2008 Liz & Bob Lee	Hiya! - From: Heading South - Agadir and Tafroute I finally checked out your blog. Looks like you are having a great adventure! We are off to the Mayan Riviera for our own, somewhat more luxurious, adventure in a couple of days (just for one week).

14th February 2008 Mo and David Forster	couscous - From: In the Rif Mountains I think I got it: In many Maghribi families the week is not complete without a bowl of couscous served on Friday afternoon after the Muslim congregational prayers. It appears to be a religious custom and you guys managed to find a cafe where this custom was being practiced.
14th February 2008 Mo and David Forster	couscous - From: In the Rif Mountains I think I found it: In many Maghribi families the week is not complete without a bowl of couscous served on Friday afternoon after the Muslim congregational prayers.

6th February 2008 Lori	Keep it coming! - From: Waiting in Rabat We always run to the computer when we see a message from you! I loved all the picutres. The hot urine sounds....interesting. I think Peter's commentary on the food was a little more appealing. It looks quite pretty there. I was anxious to hear what the weather is like - looks kindof like our spring temperatures judging by the way you are dressed. Also, is it expensive? Glad to hear you are getting by with your French. Amazing considering Peter is Mexican. We all miss you, everyone is fine here, same old day to day. Hugs and kisses

29th January 2008 Lori	Wow - From: Casablanca It looks very cool. I checked it out on the internet, and it certainly is a huge city. I know it's not exactly hot there, but its -48 with windchill here today and the kids are home from school because it's too cold to go outside! The pictures look amazing. We hope you are both well and have some time to unwind and just enjoy things after the hustle bustle of getting there.

14th January 2008 Neil 'the feet' Grew	Morocco stuff - From: Getting ready to go Hello there - how are you? I have to confess I've been particularly slow to catch up and reply to your last E-mail - even by my standards! I have just about finished my own annual end of year update, but haven't sent it out yet. Basically, all is well, but I'll send you the full story in due course... BUT what I wanted to say is - I recently went to Morocco for work for 10 days, so I wanted to pass on a couple of tips. I went to Casablanca as well, which was ok, but it felt a bit non-descript to me, although the Hassan Mosque is worth a visit and I believe its the only Mosque in Morocco that you can go in as a non-muslim. I think for the 'real' Morocco, you need to get to Fez, for the touristy Morocco, you need to spend time in Marrakech and also I would recommend you visit a place called Essaouira on the coast. A really nice town, naturally photogenic and much more 'chilled' if you should, by some strange chance, want to do any shopping! ;o) Other than that, I haven't experienced too much of Africa myself yet. I was intending to get to Tanzania and do Ngorongoro Crater (which is good, but a little pricey, apparently), but it never happened this year. I would have a careful think whether you want to do Kenya with the current troubles, but I would recommend Tanzania, Madagascar, Zanzibar and Cape Town area, depending on your time.. Have a fab trip and I'll be following it with great interest! Take good care. Neil x
