Morocco

Day 917 - At three months old Savannah was found mangy, small, and terrified on a highway in Austin, Texas. Since then she's walked 11,000 miles (17,700km) across twenty-four countries over four continents. To the best of my knowledge she's the only dog tDay 916 - Worn in the iron-rich earth from years of footfall, wonderfully stark paths like this are laced across the Moroccan hills. From the right vantage point you can see dozens of these walkways bursting outward from isolated hillside houses like gianDay 915 - My camera was blowing these kids minds. When I first lifted it to take a photo of them they ran for their lives, but after a minute I was able to convince them to come back and show them what the camera was. I gave them both the chance to take sDay 914 - Sav and I left Morocco last night and entered the Spanish port city of Melilla. Since the Algeria/Morocco land border is closed the easiest way to enter Algeria from Morocco is to ferry to Spain then ferry back to Algeria. But there's a hitch; uDay 913 - I've loved Morocco; the red mountains are incredible, the people are warm and welcoming, and I haven't once worried about my safety. But something bizarre is how few women I've seen. There are schoolgirls out during certain hours, and occasionalDay 912 - I had an idyllic childhood in an all-American suburb, but man, growing up in a landscape like this would have made for some epic 'build-up the army.' - #morocco #flyeaglesflyFamily Portrait - 9/28/18 - Ichniwen, Morocco - 11,000 miles walked together. - #moroccoDay 910 - Beneath the cart has always been her favorite place to sleep. When she was only months old she used to curl underneath it. She doesn't fit anymore, but she still tucks her head under there. #morocco #teampixelDay 909 - The staple fruits in Morocco are more exotic to me than perhaps anywhere I've been. Rather than apples, bananas, and oranges, the easiest fruits to find have been prickly pears (pictured here), desert figs, and pomegranates. Roadside vendors selDay 908 - It's very easy to build up a foreign place in your mind as somewhere dangerous, unmanageable, and unfriendly. But I've always found there's an immense gulf between imagination and reality. In reality these foreign places are as mundane as your hDay 907 - Red earth and green leaves give these Moroccan mountains some wonderful tones. #theworldwalk #travel #moroccoDay 906 - This photo I took two nights ago demonstrates a dilemma I've become very adept at solving over the past three years. It's dusk and I need somewhere to sleep. My choices are of heightened importance because wasted time may mean walking in the darDay 905 - Since entering Morocco it's been steady climbs and descents for me and Savannah. Sometimes I don't know which I prefer. Pushing my 100lb cart uphill is an unbelievable test of my legs and lower back, but going downhill puts loads of stress on myDay 904 - It's a good thing I don't have a hard schedule right now. The humidity here is just insane. Even the 90°f (32°c) Atacama Desert in Chile was less difficult walking. If it weren't for the ocean breeze I doubt I'd be walking more than three or fouDay 903 - Climbing mountains all day, too tired to think of anything to write. Here are some beautiful white and blue houses I encountered a few days ago. It's very pretty here. #theworldwalk #travel #moroccoDay 901 - We're on the move today, walking the mountains for a few hours then headed down to the coast. I've yet to swim in the Mediterranean, but I'm sure I'll find a secluded beach soon enough. #theworldwalk #travel #moroccoDay 900 - At its most narrow the Strait of Gibraltar is a mere fourteen kilometers wide. This makes it the shortest crossing for birds flying between Europe and Africa and means there's a seemingly endless stream of migrating birds. Birdwatching is a commDay 899 - Sav and I are bumming around Fnideq. Savannah has been gnawing away at bones from the butcher while I've been drinking far too much coffee and munching on bread and figs. We only have a few hundred kilometers to walk in Morocco before starting tDay 898 - This is the type of morning coffee I dream of. #theworldwalk #travel #moroccoDay 897 - Sav and I are taking a few days off in the hills before starting this trek along the Moroccan coast (Mostly because I want to be in WiFi when the Eagles play) #theworldwalk #travel #moroccoDay 896 - Hold this thought close to your chest at all times: there was never a thing promised to me. When you were born you were handed no contract prescribing that life must be such and such a thing. Even that you should live a minute longer was not gua
