London

I am now in London, and it does not fail to impress. It is exactly how I would have imagined it, “Rainy and Foggy”. I am so excited for tomorrow, we have all day to go and see as many sights as we can.

We took the tube (London Subway) from our hotel in North Acton to Piccadilly Circus Station, it was a blast. We went to a restaurant near there and ate, then we walked around for an hour or so.

I hope to get some pictures up for you tomorrow night.

I am really hoping I can make it to Abbey road tomorrow, if I can only do that one thing, then I believe my trip would be complete in my mind. I would love to get my picture at the infamous spot.

Bedouin Dinner

Tonight was really interesting! We had a traditional bedouin dinner, it was outstanding, they had singers,dancers, fire breathers and good food. I also had the opportunity to ride a camel.

I am putting more pictures of the fire breathers on my flickr account.

Tired

Well I have not had a chance to get any more pictures that you would be interested in. I have been really tired today, I slept most of the day after our team meeting in the morning.

I am not sure if I will have a chance to go into downtown Marrakech anytime soon, my hotel is about 20 minutes drive from downtown.

The flight was as good as it could be for a 6′3″ fat guy riding coach for 15 hours, I was glad I was able to get an emergency exit seat on the flight from London to Marrakech.

On the drive over here last night, it felt strangely familiar as we were going through downtown Marrakech. It felt alot like Rocky Point, it has similar architecture and color schemes.

I will try to get some more pictures up soon.

Made It To Morocco

Well I am in Marrakech right now, I got here about 2 hours ago. I just got back from eating dinner in one of the restaurants in the resort. I have to admit that this place is quite amazing, the amount of detail they have put into the architecture is incredible. I am tired so I will fill you in tomorrow on more of the details.

Here is a picture of the bed I am about to sleep on. Good Night!
