Road to Morocco

Friday, 24 August

Not much time to write now because I'm in between meetings. I'm here in Ifrane, Morocco at Al Akhawayn University, although just barely. I'll write more later - suffice it to say that yesterday was a pretty spectacular nightmare from beginning to end. My luggage is magnificently lost, somewhere in Europe (we can't be more certain) - so no clothes or shaving kit or anything. I did make it to the Riad al Pacha in Fez and was the only one staying there. The only other person was the all-inclusive staff, and he didn't speak a word of English. However, I did hire a driver to drive me forty miles up into the mountains to the university and they are taking great care of me. More later.
