Mar 12-16, 2014 -- Ahh Morocco. Such a romantic and charming city full of bright colors and rich in culture. Stepping off the airplane felt like stepping into paradise. We were immediately greeted by a warm morning sun, fragrant spring blossoms and rows of palm trees. And it was actually a fairly carefree arrival after we cleared Moroccan customs, exchanged our euros for dirham and haggled with a taxi driver to take us to our riad. The next five days were going to fly by, and we had been looking forward to this trip for a long time. I had recently emerged from the depths of busy season and Sarah had grown tired of the dreary winter weather. We were both in need of some serious rest and relaxation!



Feb 28 - Mar 2, 2014 -- Jon and I spent a brief night in Berlin last summer while driving to Poland with my parents. Our short visit left much to be desired so we were in no hurry to return for a formal visit. One would be hard-pressed to find a more devastated city than Berlin after the second world war, and the reconstruction efforts continue to dominate today's skyline (and have for years). New government buildings, new infrastructure, new neighborhoods and a new airport have turned the city into a giant construction site. Of course this means traffic is a nightmare and, in general, just looks unappealing.
