Casablanca and Morocco


Hi , We set sail from Cadiz Espana last night at 8:00 . We will arrive in Casablanca Morrocco around 0100. We had a very nice time in Spain. it was a great amount of time (5 days) we spent our second to last day in Sevilla and the yesterday on a beach in Santa Maria we took a small boat to. Not many tourists at all. We watched a fotbal practice on our walk to the beach. They had a drill I'd never seen before. It looked like a good workout and allot of fun. Basically they spilt the team into two sides on of the sides 8 guys held hands in a row. The object was to then stay together and capture the other guys who's goal was to run past to temporary freedom and catch their wind. When a guy was caught he was added to the chain. It just looked like a great drill to me.
We are putting together plans for Morrocco now. We will be heading for an overnight to Fez (Harrision Ford says the most romantic city ) NYT say's is the religious and cultual capital of Morrocco.
We will post again soon, thanks for all the comments we love to get them. Feel free to ask any questions or give us ideas. This is truly a voyage of a lifetime.

  2. How wonderful! When Anna has a chance, would love to hear from her in a guest post! All going well in Belmont, air is turning to fall and leaves are starting to change before our eyes. Rainbow, Jack and Jill are doing fine, and we can see them now that their water is clean ;-). Victoria says the frogs get a little crazy around feeding time. We miss you and think of you often! Wishing you continued safe and magnificent traves. The Lesser's
