Short Cuts, March 1, 2015


Middle Atlas Camel Caravan
Er Rachidia, February 27, 1995
It's becoming abundantly clear to JourneyistheDestination that unlike twenty years ago in 1995, she HAS NO TIME FOR THIS BLOG.  She's got a job, 2 kids, a dog, a husband, laundry, reading to do and the like.  She's also working on her black belt and taking online courses in theoretical physics (kidding!). She realizes she's gotta clock in tomorrow around 9 am, before which time she will have gotten the kids fed, ready for school, lunches made, taken to school, commuted for an hour, including the critical pit stop to a Union Square bakery for her quotidien croissant, the best in the city. Unlike real writers who need to have another job to pay the rent and then work all night on their novels, critical essays, feature stories in the New Yorker beacuse they are in fact REALwriters who have a passion, a CALLING, a drive, JourneyistheDestination is not that person; she just can't sustain this schedule, unless she begins snorting coke. So, she will have to take some short cuts, by country.
  1. Cast of Characters
  2. Intinerary
  3. Catalogue of Surreal Experiences
For each country I will be outlining these, that I can commit to, and then we'll go from there. Most of this will be entirely uninteresting to you, dear readers, except for the surreal experiences, but I need to stay true to the mission, which is to revisit this trip and reflect back on it. But to do it in a way that doesn't totally interfere with my life now.
