Had a very pleasant day not doing too much. 

After a terrible night due to some very polite but extremely inconsiderate kids, I went on the local free walking tour of the West End. I learned a bit and had a nice walk so that was great.

After a sit down, I rode the metro to the British Library. It’s a research library which is just as impressive in its way as the British Museum is.

The library has

• A copy of the Magna Carta 
• At least 2 Gutenberg bibles
• A collection of hand written Beatles lyrics by Paul, Ringo, and John 
• Hand written sheet music by Mozart 
• A 2nd century papyrus letter supposed to be written by an evangelist
• Robert Scott’s diary of his expedition to the south pole where he describes his disappointment at getting there second after Amundsen
• And more. Every item of it just as ridiculously awesome as the last.

Also the library had several temporary exhibits that aren’t too shabby either.

So all in all a great day. I walked, a lot, and saw a few cool things.

Bye til later

Uneventful. Killing a couple days in London. Will probably see a museum tomorrow.

Have a great week!

I’ve tonight in Casa, and two more in London, before I head home.

I’m glad I added on these days in Morocco. Per day, much more than my budget allowed, but in the end it was good. I’ve wanted to see the Sahara forever, and now I have! Maybe when I’m feeling braver I’ll tackle Egypt someday.

Had a nice hot long walk today.  Saw the beautiful side of the city finally. The fancy oceanfront resorts are beautiful and surprisingly affordable in off season.

Not much else to say, so, goodnight!

Back in Casablanca again. We arrived from Marrakech in time for lunch and a short tour of the city. There was some new stuff for me to see so that was good. After a rest, a very classy meal at Ricks Cafe. Lamb shank and vegetables, delicious!

This trip with Cosmos was great. I’m easily pleased so I thought the food and hotels were just fine. Our tour director is fabulous. He’s a Brit who’s been here in Morocco for 20 years, speaks 5 languages and is really funny. 

The arranged transportation allowed me to see things I’d never have figured out how to see on my own. The other guests are mostly great and I’m glad I spent the money.

Tomorrow I start working on the trip home. One more night in Casablanca, two in London, then Portland. 

I look forward to seeing you all soon!
