Todd update

Three flights to make Marrakesh only reinforced my theory that flying against the sun's east-to-west path is much harder on the body and its ability to adapt. Otherwise flights were fine - mostly empty with lots of room to stretch out. Tracy's experience was worse.

Slept through much of my first 36 hours here in our enormous, cold, three-toileted apartment apart from some trekking and wandering through the nouvelle ville in search of supplies and sustenance.

Apparently these Internets do not recognize me anymore. Every site I visit offers me the French or European version.

Hey blogmate! I'm glad you and Ms. Vanity arrived safely. Sunny, clear skies, high 70s today in Pasadena. What's it like in Marrakesh?

The trip was long but I'm grateful that you two arrived safe and sound.

Sounds like you better learn to speak "European"!

Weather been about the same. Real windy today. Miserable jetlag. We finally escaped our cosmopolitan corner of town today to check out the big medina and the medieval part of town with all the tourists, snake charmers, acrobats, story tellers and magic-potion makers. And animal abusers. Seems like I'm def going to learn more French than Arabic.
