12/30-1/1 Happy New Year

Hello Home,

It is has been awhile since my last blog and I have a lot to share with you all. First and foremost is that we have added a new member to Team COW! That's right a new member, so please everybody give a warm welcome to our new friend Luke Brossete. Luke is a photographer from New Orleans who we crossed paths with in Barcelona. After hearing our story and about COW Luke decided to come along to help document, photograph, and promote Citizen of the World. His photographic talent will be a priceless addition to COW and he is ready for just about anything the world throws his way. In short we are very happy to have Luke with us.

We have also finally made it to Africa. Marrakesh, Morocco to be precise and what a great place this city is. We are staying in a small old Riad just outside a Medina that has a circus like atmosphere. In the center of the Medina there is everything from snake charmers with 4 feet long cobra's and vipers to acrobats dancing around while men beat drums and play a violin like instrument. This all surrounded by street vendors selling every day items from socks to orange juice. In the evening the snake charmers are replaced by makeshift restaurants and smoke fills the Medina air, as thousands of people come dine on delicious street food; from kebabs to sheep heads to snails the night market is a delicious and exciting place to eat. And I haven't even told you about the story tellers that come out at night. They attract crowds of 50 or so people all gathered around to hear ancient stories about.......... well I don't understand a word they say but it is still entertaining to watch. Maybe I should learn some Arabic.

Anyways that should catch you all up on where we are at and what we are doing. I am very excited to be on the road again and have a new member of Citizen of the World.

Hope you all had a great holiday, mine was spent on a boat, train, bus, and plane.
