In Fes.I awoke at 530 to the incredibly loud call to prayer and what seemed like half the citys denizens responding to it at top volume. I burrowed my way back under my blanket breathing hard to create a pocket of warm air under it and wished my...

In Fes.Well, getting up at dawn wasnt the problem. Getting to sleep was. I normally can fall asleep anywhere when necessary and I didnt have any problem with the wind, or the cold or from fear of the dung Beatles or huge scarabs crawling around...

In the desert but no sign of Jim Morrison.I slept terribly, proving that a bed with pink sheets and heart shaped pillows requires a girls presence to be of any use but any romance wouldve been quashed anyway by the very literal cold shower that...

On the edge of Erg Chebbi, which might be fairly compared to the edge of the world.I began the day down to my last 30 dollars and with both of my cards getting refused at a number of atms in Ouarzazate. But I chose to view it as adding to the adv...

In Ouarzazate.The title phrase is apparently a common saying amongst urban Moroccans. The guidebooks dont appear to really know why but speculate that they regard it the same way Europeans regard Timbuktu (which doesnt help much cause I dont r...

in Oukaimeden.I got up in time to get my first hot water shower since I left England so that should tell you how early it was. Then after a quick walk to a taxi stand, a brief debate with a taxi driver, a taxi ride to a different taxi stand and s...

In MarrakechI managed to sleep through Allahs alarm clock but the Arabic John Henry working on the opposite side of the wall proved tougher. At least he held off till 730 this morning, which was nice.
My morning was uneventful. I hiked up the Gu...

I was in Borders bookstore when that CSNY song came on yesterday. Seems like a good omen. Even the powers that be (or at least the ones in charge of song selection at Charing Cross literary emporiums...

Back in London.What a useless day. One of those that are so gray and pointless that at the end of it you have no specific memories just a general feeling of drudgery. It was so uninteresting that I didnt take a single picture. So in lieu of any ...

In London.The day began spectacularly with a long overdue trip to one of Londons two greatest diners: Dianas. The food is excellent and damn cheap. I had 3 scrambled eggs on toast with chips (fries) and a soda for 4.5 pounds. Compare that to th...
