A Camel, The Outback, and a Sore Bum
I have mysterious desire to tour the Outback of Australia on a camel. That intrigues me. I suppose I am imagining the adventure of being in a pristine wilderness astride an animal who is completely at home there, and I desire to feel the temperature of the desert, to smell the wind, to hear the silence. But until I can actually get my hands on a camel, I am writing this article as the next best thing. That way, no sore bum.

Tangier, Morocco: Rocking and Rolling into the Millenium 11
Tangier, Gateway to Morocco. In my imagination Morocco has always been a place of mystery,intrigue and danger, shades of Casablanca and Humphrey Bogart. Although there is intrigue in the air, it is also a place of sandy beaches, sunshine, friendly people, street vendors,flowers,fashionable residential areas. There are also narrow winding narrow streets and souks in the mysterious Medina. There are many things to see and do including museums and galleries.Then there are the berber horseman,a belly dancer and a fire eater. The snake charmer didn't show.
