Volubulis (Roman Ruins) March 2-3  It's amazing how much ground these guys covered.  I met a group of kids here from the UK who were driving down to South Africa in a Jeep.  When I marveled at this sight, they were like Roman Ruins?  We can see those any old day.

Casablanca March 7-8 (JS, Abdullah)  Bought my tickets on Royal Air Maroc to Cairo and got my hands and feet henna tatooed.

Lasting impressions, now 20 years later?  I would love to come back here with a ton of money and stay in an awesome riad like in Hideous Kinky, with a tea boy and everything.

Casablanca to Cairo March 8, 1995
