Have not heard from us in awhile? Well, that's probably because we have been out in the middle of nowhere doing next to nothing...it is what we do best. As I mentioned before, we were thinking of returning to the desert, which is where we have been for the past week and a half. This time we stayed in the auberge at the edge of the dunes. So, there were less camels, more drums, and frequent showers...a little bit diferent from round 1. We spent the majority of our days hanging out with the vast auberge staff - all interesting (and slightly pre-occupied with us) in their own special way. By the end we were part of the staff, chopping veggies and washing dishes in the kitchen. It was a relaxing time for the last bit of this amazing year. We have barely left ourselves enough time to make the long haul back to Madrid (to fly to JFK)...so, if you don't see us soon then you know it is because we "missed the boat," (literally) from Morocco to Spain.
A quick recap on our time before our return to the desert. We spent a couple more days in Essaouira after leaving our tour group, then moved south to Marrakesh. This city is vibrant and busy with lots of vendors, a large medina, and a main square that becomes alive in the night. Open air food stalls take over the area and vendors go to all measures to ease you into their restaurant. It makes for good entertainment, though we learned quickly that if we were not interested in eating, we had to walk a good 100 meters around the square to avoid getting hassled. It's interesting because I was not bored at any point in Marrakesh, but I can't think of one entertaining activity we did whilst there. Jess did buy a camel necklace...I suppose that is somewhat eventful.
So, that basically brings you completely up to date and rounds out our trip on the blog. I'm sorry that the last entry isn't filled with laughs and fireworks, but we are ending on a calm note in preparation for our exciting return to the homeland. I'm going to post the rest of the pictures soon as well as a final entry on the past year, so make sure you look out for it.
As always, thanks for reading!

Excitement is building in anticipation of your safe return soon. I think you two should hit the speaking engagement circut and perhaps some talk shows. Leno, Letterman, Oprah!! If you are looking for an agent, let me know. See ya soon.
I want to see an updated entry similar to the first one "what's in the bag" ...but instead "what's still in the bag, added to the bag, eww, does the bag smell?? hahaha.
What's in the bag probably should remain in the bag and go right out to the curb on garbage day. I think I have seen you two in the same clothes for the last 500 pictures. A shopping trip is likely in you near future, but I'm sure they don't do much bargain at the Roosevelt Field Mall. But, times are hard, so you never know.
Anxiously awaiting your arrival.
A last personal e-mail from BOTH OF YOU would be nice. Love and kisses.
I want a personal e-mail!!!
