Thank you, Andrew. Your oma told me of your study in Morocco, and then I was delighted to see the website address in your parents' Christmas letter. This summer while in Montana I met a young man from Bozeman who has applied for one of these study sessions in Morocco, so I will forward your material to his family, and others who have lived/visited there. I find it wonderful that the world is smaller than ever; but then it turns up the problems--we can no longer pretend they do not exist. Your refugee camp encounter certainly points to that, and it is good you didn't try to photograph any of that. Have a great trip home in January. The narrative of some of your time away was also enjoyed. In case you have forgotten I am the wife of Richard Lukins, your opa's first cousin. Dick will be interested, as I alert him Dot I have just had a lovely trip without leaving home! Thank you, Andrew.

It was an amazing experience. Although we missed Malaga and Sevilla due to our packed itinerary, we did sneak in time for Granada and Cordoba. I'll look forward to reading your travelogues on the same. I put up two pictures - taken from a bus - somewhere in between Granada and Cordoba. They are at http://saadiam.blogspot.com/2008/11/dichotomies-in-appreciation.html. Can you recognize? My husband and I, too, had the fortune of experiencing Spain in the summers this year.

That's really amazing that after all that you managed to summit. I remember Jule and I felt much the same way trying to climb El Kalaa in the Rif (although it was I think much less of a serious endeavor as this trip in the altas has been ). I'm glad you made it!! wow andrew. That’s really amazing that after all that you managed to summit.
