Heading Home in 3 Days

We will arrive in Seattle in 3 days via Barcelona and London. We leave from Morocco on Sunday and will spend a night in Barcelona. We found this great cheap ticket to Barcelona back last fall and bought it thinking oh, on the way back maybe we'll spend some time there etc. It's turned out to be a bit of a pain because of course, we want as much time as possible here in Morocco and now will have just a night in the hotel before leaving bright and early Monday for our trip back to Seattle. I guess one more little adventure before we get to home sweet home.

Imad celebrated his birthday here which he hasn't done in years. He was very happy to be surrounded by his family. Here are some fun shots from his birthday celebration. Birthdays definitely are not as big of a deal here as in the states, but I know he was happy to have a little party, and as is tradition here, we relit the candles MANY times so all the kids had a turn to blow them out.



Younis will miss all his cousins who he's gotten to know really well. I'm sure just like his Seattle buddies, they'll become the main characters in his books and we'll have lots of nice conversations about their daily activities everyday.
