Upon arriving in Morocco, I had originally been booked to stay at Riad Monceau located in the Old Souk area, which had been booked via Expedia.com. However, after traveling more than 30 hours, we arrived at Monceau and were told they had no record of our reservation despite the fact that we had our confirmation in hand and I had email confirmation for dinner that evening (booked a month in advance). You can only imagine our panic and our exhaustion; this is not how we anticipated beginning our vacation!

Night falls in Essakane, Mali
This past week, the New York Times featured a piece on music from Mali and the Festival au Desert, which is held each January in the remote African city of Essakane, Mali.
The article made me reflect about my love of travel, my love of other cultures, and about my love of music. Among the reasons that I travel is my desire to experience the world first-hand and to step outside myself and my experiences and gain different perspectives.

They were still building – left and right side… Must have been a rather contagious sickness… The only thing I was unable to understand was: WHY ON EARTH did it take SO LONG?
In Switzerland they would have finished a long time ago. In Libya they had still not fixed the windows.
