Crazy! Last time I was in Morocco I was wishing it would rain to cool us off!!! I guess you never know what’s in store! Best wishes…we’re all keeping our eyes and ears on you guys out there in Sahara! Talk soon
I was looking for the fruity drink and umbrella ;) Hope you get off soon and run strong and smart. Good luck Bryon!
I cannot believe this craziness. All the best to all of you. We’ll be tracking you here and on Lisa’s blog. Stay safe indeed.
Byron, rain and all, this is so exciting. I have been to Morocco, in a hotel very similar, in a sand storm. Keeping my fingers crossed that doesn’t happen to you. We are all following you and wishing you well!

Dear Mountain Goat:
It’s called a “peal” of thunder. Unless Morocco has particularly noisy bananas.
Love,

Thanks, Nick the Chick… I pondered the correct spelling of thunder peal for a while… and got it wrong. :-) It’s corrected now.
