Touchdown Morocco!

The approach from Spain:

After two long days and nights of travel, we've finally arrived in Casablanca.  This big sprawling city looks nothing like the North African port town of Bogart and Bergman fame, and I wonder if rendering it in black and white with a soft focus might actually improve things a bit. 

I’m told there’s “Rick’s Café” somewhere in town, but we won’t be going there to mingle with throngs of tourists.  Instead, we’ll sleep off our jet lag and be on the road in the morning for points less traveled to the north.   But we'll see a few sights here first, including the enormous architectural masterpiece that holds 25,000 worshippers at once and has the tallest minaret in the world:  the Mosque of Hassan II.  Here's looking at you, Casablanca!

Hey there, e.s! Hooray! You're there! How surreal to see "Casablanca" on a sign. And I am very jealous of the nice fold down seats on the flight to Spain. That's the way to travel! Have fun on this trip! Love you!

Yay, Chris! You're THERE! I meant to call and wish you a wonderful journey, but now I get to post it on your blog instead. Enjoy it all! I'll be thinking of you with love, happiness...and a bit of envy. May wonders and blessings abound.

Not fair at all that you three look fabulous after such a long journey.
