RAIN! In the last 24 hours, the farm has received .80 inches of rain, and according to Granny about 20 minutes ago, it was just pouring. It is supposed to do this all weekend. Keep your fingers crossed. Alec Baldwin, really?
Liberte' over and over What an exciting recap of being in a place where liberte' is being actively sought in the streets. I watched Freedom Riders: American Expereince last night and draw parallels of those brave folks, in 1962, who fought against the ugly racism of the time simply by showing up in the streets.
the submit bar appears barely! Vals, you should have gone to a paper before you left and got them to hire you as a foreign correspondent, then you could have written this trip off on your taxes. Kyle would have been your interpeter and your Dad security guard:)
I believe the last figures were a 100,000 Libyan refuges in Tunisia and this now includes the minister of energy/oil who defected today. Happy traveling, Nancy
Roy Crenshaw = Alec Baldwin Roy, I recommend that you follow the advice of your alter ego Jack Donaghy for your flight home. Never sleep on planes to reduce the risk of getting incepted. You are welcome.
Architecture The architecture of Algeria reminds me of the style used in Mali - Have you thought of adding this lovely country to your bucket list?
Thanks for sharing your notes!!!
WOW!! I guess being escorted by the military would be a bit intimidating but worth it to be safe.
I don't recall ever seeing those odd white structures in any travel magazine or t.v. show. I love the photo of the dunes so to whoever took that, good work.
Paul and I laughed a bit at ourselves over your good food raves as we seldom even think about the food on our trips unless we get really tired of it. People are always asking us what kind of food we ate and half the time we don't even remember much about it.Just goes to show that everyone has different takes on things when they travel.
Do you see any wildlife at all? Birds, snakes, lizards or just empty space? I can't believe we have not seen a camel photo by now!
Viewing Algeria from Oklahoma The architecture, exterior and interior, is welcoming and fascinating. The photo of the shifting sand makes me want to watch The English Patient for for umpteenth time. Thanks for blogging. It takes a discipline that escapes me.
Love following your journey. Hi "Nomads",
Like you, I have an affection for N. Afr./Middle East, deserts, mosques, etc.. So, I love reading your blogs. Wishing you a continued inspiring and safe journey. JOY
Tag line.... You punned the president? Really Roy? REALLY!?! :o) Oh but I do love the red bar pic. We should have our next meeting there -- it would be awesome!!
Roy ROY! How awesome! All your travels look really great, unique and amazing! I want to travel to places where most tourists don't go.
enjoy! You inspire me to see the world!
Things are running smoothly Went to the farm on Wednesday to check the water situation-all is well. Here are some more interesting observations I have had since your departure: 1) Cheyenne is still the weirdest dog in the universe; 2) The camels have given up on you ever returning and have changed their alliance; 3) The horses are dog-tired and refuse to ever go on a cattle drive again; 4) Freud did not find the bolts in the flower beds to be any sort of deterrent whatsoever.
It sounds like you all are having a wonderful time. Miss you!

good to hear from you Doesn't it seem a bit ironic that war planning took place in such an opulent setting? How in the world are you going to get that shell home???
Jealousy? While you guys are hanging out in a famous, fancy hotel overlooking the Mediterranean, Renee and I are having an equally good time. Victoria brought us a veggie tray today.
GO IKE! Even if the hotel staff didn't get the humor of your buttons, I'm glad that Abilene got a shout out on your trip! ;) Sounds like you're having a great time!!
Good to hear from you Hi you guys,
How fun! Exactly how big is the shell and how do you intend to bring it home??? I called Mom right away and gave her a rough description of your blog. When we get a couple more I will print them and send them to the folks.
It is hot and windy today(Sunday) with no sign of rain until Thursday. Roy they did get .25" of rain Friday- a good garden rain at least. Nothing for us.
I assume you are staying on top of Tunisia news. Take care, Nancy
You made it! Enjoyed the blog tho I don't remember that song at all from any of the artists you mentioned or your wedding. I definately inherited Mom's memory.
I might mention that our country school was 2 rooms tho so Roy only had to have me in the same room 4 years out of 8:).
I drove through a cloud burst today between Manhattan and Wamego but I have a feeling the farm didn't get that storm. We only had a sprinkle. Later, Nancy
