The Mrs and I are going on a cruise. Seeing as how we live in Florida I decided that we should at least go on a cruise someplace a little more exotic than the Bahama’s, so in my infinite wisdom I picked the Mediterranean and namely Morocco. The cruise line had this great thing where you could get off the boat in Casablanca and travel down to Marrakesh for a night and then catch up with the boat back in Agadir the next evening.
Last Sunday Morrocco had massive protests like most of Muslim northern Africa. Five people were killed, banks set on fire and the police station in Marrakesh was set ablaze as well. This weeks forecast calls for more of the same. So it looks like no Morocco for me and the Mrs.
I did have a brief fantasy of National Lampoons Vacation Revelation. Imagining Clark and the family mistaking the protests as a parade and giant festival… but people are fighting for their freedoms so I won’t parody any of that at least until the dust settles and especially the horror that is Libya is sorted out.
So think of me, the dumb American circling off the coast drinking $15 margarita’s while the people fight for freedom. Hopefully the piano bar player at least knows some Warren Zevon - Lawyers Guns and Money feels about right.
I’ll be back in a week or two, until then enjoy my reblogs of Hookers and Cake gone by.
Much love and stay curious - Jade
