courage 46° c'est très fort mais je sais que tu es plus forte et que tu resisteras à pire que ça!car tu es convaincue et très motivée! Alors du courage Dear Ambassador!
merci merci pour le récit si péjoratif que tu as fait de nous!saches que tout le mérite te revient car tu es une fille simple et pleine d'humilité!
tu seras toujours bienvenue parmi nous!
I'm so glad you are continuing to have such an great trip and you've met so many amazing people. It's a real treat to read your blog.
Lots of Love, Jenny
The amazing adventure continues You look great, and there's a real glow on your face no doubt from all the amazing experiences you've already had! You are meeting and endless stream of people who really do have the best life can offer, friendship, happiness and the love of family.
With that 46 degree weather and endless sunshine I expect you're staying in the shade most days, hard to imagine that level of heat when you come from Canada!
Keep on truckin'
Love dad
I enjoyed your Mauritanian post. I have always wanted to go to Africa. My blog is looking for travel photos. If you have the time check us out at www.dirty-hippies.blogspot.com
Continued fun on your travels,

I'm so excited for you to be exploring Africa! Keep us updated of all your adventures! What's Mauritania like? Where are you off to next? Etc. I told Jack (Dr.Weiner) you are off living your dream and he was happy for you. He's going back to teaching Calc next semester; he loves it too much to move on.
PS. I have a second internship doing wildlife rehabilitation in August in BC!!! Can't wait to travel and use couchsurfing. Your adventures have inspired me!
Morocco,mountains to desert wow! you are amazing! 64 days later. Uncle Kim and I are finally turning on the computer. thanks for the updates they make me feel like I am right there with you. keep em commin we love you and wish you good health and lots of happiness in your journey, be safe, Jon say mom she's intelligent don't worry, lova ya
This sounds amazing! How was jumping on the train? I've always wanted to do that after seeing it in a movie somewhere. This is turning into a very Indiana Jones-esque adventure :D You just need to buy a whip and a sick hat (though I gotta say you're rocking that scarf pretty nicely).
so awesome! Hey Chica!!!
Your blogs are getting crazier and crazier....i can't believe you are now finally about to get on that train you talked to me about a while ago !!!(or at least by this point you most likely have completed your journey on it). Your writing about love and family was beautiful. You truly are engaging in ethnography in its purest form.....acknowledging our ingrained Western perspectives yet disassociating from it in order to respect and truly learn from others. You continue to inspire me everyday. xoxoxo safe travelling BFF

People Hi Alyssa, so good to hear from you again and that you're adding to an already long list of amazing adventures! Think i mentioned before that there is a series of shows about the Islam culture and it is very interesting to learn, and now hear first hand about how disciplined, united and family oriented they are.
Hope your ride in the coal car went ok- doesn't sound like much fun but at least it'll get you a long distance quickly!
Take care, be safe love dad

Hope you had a great birthday,I'm sure you did, the pictures are sooo good, glad you're in some. It's nice to see that nice smile of yours. your blog is so interesting. If I were younger and unattatched I think that I would love to do "Some " things of what you're doing, but not everything . LOL . Well girl all the best and keep safe, thinking of you LOTS . xoxoxo

That Alyssa!!! Well in case anyone happens to read this, and is worried about Alyssa, we did hear from her recently. She took 'side trip' unexpectedly and has been staying with a family in a remote area of Chefchaouen in Morocco. She said she's been having a great time and will be back on line soon.
What a kid!!!
From her dad, Ron
Great start to Africa! SO AWESOME!!! Glad things are off to such an amazing start. I feel really lucky to hear all of your great stories. How lucky are you to be so immersed in the local culture.
Hitchhiking, walking and cycling across Africa and beyond.
