Morocco and the End of the Voyage

We arrived in Morocco and headed by train to Marrakesh. This beautiful city has two distinct parts: the old city, or “Medina”, and the new city. We had the opportunity to stay in the Medina in a riad, which is a very old house that has been converted into a bed and breakfast. It was over 200 years old with a tremendous amount of charm and character. The pictures below do not do it justice.









We leave for England tomorrow and will be at sea for three days. During that time, Rick will give (and grade) all of his final exams and we will also say good-bye to some wonderful new friends.

We read at some point that what you remember from a trip or experience are two things: 1) the highs and lows, and 2) how it ends. So, you should always try to end on a good note, as this will be a big part of how you remember it. We are hopeful that these last few days – until we disembark in Southhampton, England on April 16 – end on a good note.
