HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Dear family and friends!

YES. We already miss you a lot! And we send you a special hug from Marrakech wishing you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Jorge really appreciated to have Marta's company in New Year's and sends a kiss to all his family back in Portugal!

Goncalo wishes a wonderful year for all and sends a special kiss to his family, particularly to Lena who is in Lisbon with the three kids back home!!! (knowing that is hard!!!) 364

That's it for now. Tomorrow we will regroup with rest of the teams (let's see how many will be joining us on the Morroco route and who is still going south to Banjul). On the second morning we will be back on the van (that has been parked for the last two days) and going to the High Atlas!

It is very probable that we will not be able to post so often as we will be going to some more remote areas now (and finally have the opportunity to destribute the 150 presents to the local children, that you were so kind to give us and we are carring in the van for the last week!).

We might be able to keep in touch, even without internet; via the SMS service on the page:

Thanks for your comments!!! Have a wonderful night and a 2010 with many dreams achieved!! :D

This photo cost us 5Dinars (50 cents). We got caught in a "turist trap"! Those guys were playing that stupid game only to get turist attention. Just 1 second after I shot the photo the guy appeared asking for money!! :D
