so i am sitting in the ferry terminal, waiting for my boat to morocco. please pray for me! i´m pretty nervous, and i am already weary of everyone around, thinking they are just here to rip me off or steal my stuff. obviously i do need to be careful, aware, and wise, but this is just plain paranoia. argh! pray that i will really enjoy my trip and not just be anxious, especially the first day, since i don´t meet my tour group until tomorrow afternoon. and pray for travel mercies in general...
so i took the overnight train from madrid to algeciras yesterday... and the line from cordoba to algeciras was broken, perhaps from the tons of rain we´ve gotten. anyway, they made us all get off at 445am in cordoba and put us on a bus. not quite the same as a bed on a train. but we did make it to algeciras, about 3 hrs late. good thing i didn´t realy have any plans! so i went to gibraltar in the afternoon. but it rained, and i was tired, adn the cable car to the top wasn´t working, so i just sat in the botanic gardens and read a bit. not too shabby, but i certainly dídn´t realy "experience" gibraltar. oh, well.
oh, and i´m going to oklahoma-texas a week after i get back, for about a week, for rachel´s wedding. woohoo!! see you ou/hgm/tx folk soon! anyone want to take me to the okc airport at 5am tues, nov 14? or want to give me a place to stay during that weekend?

The title of your post has me humming the song "(We're Off On) The Road to Morocco." In case you're not up to speed on WWII-era movies, that was one of the songs in the side-splitting "Road to Morocco," made in 1942 and starring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope :). I hope you have a wonderful (and less smelly!) time in Africa!
