Asilah

Asilah. The beginning of adventures for us. Whether arriving or departing. 
This is the last blog from Morocco for this year. Tomorrow we set sail for Spain three months from the day we arrived. Another adventure starts. 
Summer and Holts Field. 


We feel blessed to have had another great adventure here. Our first summer of the year ! Camping and for us, campsites are our thing. 


We can be quiet and calm. Do those things that peacefulness encourage, like knitting! How are the socks doing Krysia? 


Not bad at all Ted. Just taking their time as it's the first sock I've knitted and there is always a need for two of them ! But number one is coming along just fine. Excellent. They are going to be lovely. 

 
We can pop out of the campsite and take a stroll around town, enjoying the warmth and friendliness of the local people. Always delightful. Although there are a fair few tourists here on days out from Spain so shopkeepers, you don't have to be pushy. Puts us off meandering when " best price " etc is called. Real shopkeepers, as in local stores and markets do not suffer from the same approach and benefit from our custom.  Wandering through shops and talking to locals then becomes a pleasure. In fact, one of our greatest pleasures. 


Even having a print made of our ferry ticket home can turn into an intimate experience! Especially when the ticket is on ones phone and getting it to the shops email should be easy ! All done in the end and thank you Sahmi for your patience. 


The phone, an iPhone, has been a central player in this years trip. It's been the source of the Internet, a camera, a sound and video recorder, translator and of course a computer. Amazing what you can fit in your pocket. The blog has been written and uploaded onto the web. And of course, it's a telephone as well ! Whatsapp has changed the way we can comunicate with loved ones and emails pop into your life wherever you are! 
A good thing? Well, embrace it and use it I say. Just be sure you know who's in charge ! This trip has certainly been enhanced by its presence whithout getting in the way. 


So, as you can see, this modern technology hasn't done me any harm. I'm as sound as a pound as is is my lovely Krysia. We both thank you for tuning in to our blog and hope you'll join us next time

Until then

Lots of love
