Hi everyone! Finally I am getting a chance to post. You've gotten the scoop on our previous excursions, and today was a fun day in Taroudant. It felt like a step back in time going through the souk. A very interesting experience. We definitely didn't want to get separated from the group, with the way the alleyways went on and on and around and around. We had a very good guide, and a good driver too, but OMG! He was passing cars and trucks constantly, going around bicyclists, honking, etc. Again, a real experience! I feel as if I've seen the real Morocco, or at least a little portion of it.

You may have noticed the lack of John's and my names in the first postings. That's because we had a mechanical problem with our plane on our overseas flight and had to land at a military base in Goose Bay, Labrador. We stayed on the plane for about five hours in Goose Bay while AA sent a new plane and crew from New York. Needless to say, after all that, we missed our connection to Nice, so we flew directly to Barcelona to meet the ship on the second day. Even got here in time for our first tour! So it all worked out.

Well, I'd better go get ready for dinner. We must keep eating, you understand. The food has been very good in Compass Rose, and we loved Latitudes the other night.

More later ....
