WE'RE IN MOROCCO!!!

A big thank you to everyone who made it possible to be here, especially Kate and everyone at Link Community Development, our Nominated Contacts, our parents and families, everyone who donated to our trip, to all the nice people who helped us and showed us so much kindness, and of course our drivers, wherever they may be by now. A special thank you to Mairin Hennebry for responding to my panicked phone call asking how to write "service station" in Spanish. All of you have helped make a big difference in the lives of many children in Southern Africa, and to the lives of two idiots from Singapore.

I'd like to sing Xin Hui's praises: she was a rock throughout this trip. While I wear my emotions on my sleeve, and alternately laughed and raged and hoped and worried and got depressed, she stayed steady and calm and kept us going. All credit to her: she was the one who really made this trip a success.
