my feet have finally found there way to african soil! arrived yesterday in marrakech safely. a shared taxi ride with 6 large men. a visit to a mosque and djemna al fin. snake charmers; tea a la menthe; music and dance. evening found me in a circle smoking real shisha and playing cards with ten moroccan brothers. the days have lost count: living is simple. tomorrow begins an 8 day journey through the sahara desert… it is difficult to type on an arabic keyboard. i am safe. a short message to wish you all a joyous new year and eve of celebration!

with great love, joy and sunshine

rae

    didn’t expect you writing from the middle of nowhere.. but you wrote from the middle of a smoking circle, eh?

    i didn’t expect myself checking your site so early. dutch (flamish) keybord is also quite complicated;

    enjoy the camel ride and camel driver chats.

    keep going!

    My dear dear sister,
    When, exactly, will your watermelon-craving self dance through my door? And would you like to call my door your door and be my roommate for awhile? You are obviously my first choice.
