Changes...

As usual, long time no post (insert sheepish grin here)...

But just a quick update. I'm tired, but happy, as I just got back from a 15- day whirlwind tour of Spain, Portugal and Morocco with my boyfriend Sab. Armed only with backpacks and high expectations, we made our way from the very south-eastern corner of France all the way to Madrid, Spain's capital. After a couple of days there, we descended to the Andalusian region and due to relatively shaky planning, spent a night stranded in Cordoba.

...And then onto Morocco for a weeks' stay, where we travelled high up into the Rif Mountains to Chefchaoen, then made our way southward to medina-filled Fez and the loud bazaars of Marrakech, Morocco's tourist capital. After the hustle and bustle (and stomach trouble) of Northern Africa, we made our way back up into the south of Spain, making a 2 day stopover in Sevilla, where we were mystified and captivated when we took in a live flamenco show.

Onward and eastward to southern Portugal, where a brief stopover in Lagos, tourist haven and surfers' paradise, allowed up to relax and recoup. The last stop of our journey found us in Portugal's capital, Lisbon, where we reveled in the beautiful sights and stunning architecture. A day and 22 hours of train later, we returned to French Riviera and familiarity, as Nice was just how we left it: sunny, hot, and beautiful!

Pics soon!
