One if by land, two if by sea - three if by air

If Paul Revere were still alive he would warn you that I'll be there soon. I am part British after all.

In almost exactly 24 hours I'll be back in Minnesota, likely shivering my knees off not yet acclimated to the unseasonably warm yet tundra in comparison to Morocco like climate.

Cause who doesn't love a good African sunset? Taken from the Agdal, Rabat train station. 

The past 4 months have gone by in a flash. I learned some Arabic, ate incredible food including sand bread, speaking of sand rolled down a sand dune, learned more than I could ever quantify, made the best of friends (you are all missed. so much.), did a lot of journalism (one here - http://bit.ly/1Oy8VRW), saw a huge part of this country including the part that is technically Spain but lets not get into that now, learned to surf, lived in a village, Rabat and Casablanca, met some of the bravest people, and so so much more. 

Still, there's no snow here. 

"I know you don't want me to miss Minnesota, but I do." -Riley from Inside Out. I couldn't help but relate when I watched this in Casablanca. 

I'm so sad to leave. I know I will be back someday, but knowing that life will go on here and that I will miss it makes me want to stay. Of course, I'm missing life everywhere that I'm not. None of this, however, will keep me from enjoying and living life wherever I am - soon to be Minnesota.

I guess this is the place for final thoughts.

It's been a weekend of goodbyes to friends, places, smells, sights, animals - the works. All of them life changing. If you've been one of those people who keeps clicking on my blog then it's time to say goodbye to you too. It has been my pleasure to take you with whenever I've remembered to update my blog. I do suspect this blog has been more fun for me than for you, but I hope we've all had a grand time.

The adventure will never end,
