Look! She is back!
I am indeed back. And did you know that there is a limit to how many entries you can skip backwards? It's 1000 if you wondered. But hey, I'm back from Morocco, which is, in my experiences, a lush green country with nice people, yoghurt that give you diarrhoea and badly placed street signs that attack you out of the blue (or red since it was Marrakesh) and make your head bleed a lot. Also I get height-sick.

Has anyone gotten any postcards yet? The post-office in the Medina was under refurbishment, so I'm not sure the post box I stuffed my cards into, is actually working...

Sadly, even though I went away, my work didn't, so I've been cooped up in a backlog of administrative trivialities and papers that need to be graded. But pictures of the lush and green country are forthcoming. Eventually.

Welcome back!! Post boxes can be as sneaky as street signs, let me tell you - my head once bled a-plenty as a consequence. :-)

No postcards sighted over here so far, but I'll keep checking my mail. :-P

Again, welcome back, and don't overdo it back at work!

Yes, these modern steel contraptions can jump upon you when you expect it the least. When I become queen of the world they will be made from rubber foam.

don't overdo it back at work!
Back at you! Thankfully Easter break is just around the corner!

Welcome back! And thank you for the postcard, which arrived yesterday (and which I'm using as my favourite bookmark) :-)

I look forward to your photos and Moroccan tales.

Are you sure that it was a mailbox? :P
I didn't get my postcard yet but I'm sure that it's on its way, I owe you so many postcards by now that I think that I will send you a bunch when I'm in Canada just to make up for it :D.

Well it was a yellow box.... Mail boxes are yellow right?

We have two, yellow and red but we are crazy :).
Yes, I do have to travel more, if I could I would take a trip every year :).

You crazy people. Actually we have both yellow and reds too (mostly red, the yellow ones are for local mail, so you can only see them in the "big" cities.)
At the Faroe Islands the mailboxes were blue! It took my forever to find them, you just don't look for blue!

Yes, you must travel more. You really don't need to eat :) Just travel.
