Back from Morocco (page 12 of 16)

The weather should be great for trying out this good recipe. Temperatures have dropped.

It's just temporary. Everything should get better in the next few days.

Here in Charentes Maritimes, it's all about tabbouleh and grilled food these days. Hope it lasts...

I just got back from swimming in Gironde 😎😎😎

We're swimming here too. As long as we can.

now's the perfect time since the tourists have left! 😎 lucky you!

And to add a little wink to this "post," I slaughtered 4 of my chickens this morning!! Not related to this post at all, but it’s a relief!!!

To each their own. For me, September means shrimp fishing.

And how's the fishing?

Yes, good point. September is a great month for shrimp.

So, how was Morocco?

It's planned for mid-October. So it's coming up soon. How about you?

I just got back from Corsica. We really treated ourselves—it was absolutely amazing. We’re not leaving again right away, but we’re already dreaming about it. Safe travels to you, and keep us posted!

Thanks. On the way back, I'll share my great discoveries. As usual.

Corsica is also a beautiful country; I have a soft spot for Cap Corse and St Florent. Hope to go back someday. If you're looking to see vast desert landscapes, like Morocco but cooler, I just got back from Iceland and posted a travel journal. No Morocco next year either—I need to refill the coffers 😉 Will there be a travel journal about Corsica?

I started... I'll continue... But right now, the garden is taking up my days. And I'll check out your travel journal on Iceland, which I don't know at all. You have to go there in the middle of summer, I guess. See you!

Iceland!!! Did it back in '63/'64 (not sure anymore), for 1 1/2 months, in a Citroën 2CV model Enac or Henac (??), loaded directly onto the deck at the front of the ship (half-freight, half-passenger) in Copenhagen—the Kronprinz Olaf 2, 3, 4, or 5, can't remember the number of that King either!!!. An epic adventure at the time. In a 2CV, you really had to be a bit adventurous, but what memories—and with all the photos, indeed!! Practically no roads like in Morocco several decades ago. Now, it's all big boulevards!!! (A bit of an exaggeration.) No matter, it's an incredible country. Worth seeing and revisiting without limits

Hi Alain,

Check out Roseline (Jackieda)'s travel journal—it's amazing. You were so lucky to do that. https://voyageforum.com/v.f?post=9162127;#9162127

Oh wow, that must’ve been quite the adventure!! The total opposite of what we did, but those vast landscapes are still there. In the end, Nature always has the final say out there!

Thanks Hannah! Just a few food prices left to add, and that’ll be it 😉

I think every season has its own charm! In summer, there’s practically no night—it’s sunnier, but prices are sky-high! In winter, there aren’t many daylight hours, but you’ve got a better chance of seeing the northern lights, and prices are lower. We rediscovered the vast landscapes of southern Morocco in different colors and discovered volcanoes and the ice cap. Our garden will be the 2019 priority too—gotta refill the piggy bank! See you later!
