My current job has particular perks. One in particular that I really enjoy is the school calendar, offering me plenty of vacation time.

Arturo

Wouldn't have known about this trip if it wasn't for this guy, he's pretty cool

Atlantic, meet Mediterranean

Jivin

Colors ...

We walked out onto a sort of jetty thing .... this is what we could see

Accomplishment

I am satisfied now by seeing the Atlantic from both coasts ...

Tame

Asilah was a lot more tame than the previous two cities, I think this is why I liked it more ... tame in that we weren't being hounded and followed by vendors of every kind

Music Moroccan style

this is the band that played at our dinner extravaganza ...

Entertainment

Their dance was probably more worth the money we paid to see ...

Crazy

Rashid and Nikki got down

Sufficiently Satisfied

Jorge and I ate a lot over our stay in Morocco, so we wanted to share that with everyone and compare sizes ...
