Jack and I took a trip to Morocco. Thanks to our awesome friends, the Reddingtons, we were able to go without Lyla. Since we have hardly had any time alone since moving to England, it was a much needed time away for us. It was great to be able to have time to lay in the sun and enjoy uninterpreted conversation with Jack. Since we were in a very different place with a foreign culture, we were able to see a different side of each other. It was a good experience for us to have to work together to navigate the ridiculous and mostly unmarked maze of streets that were swarming with annoying shop owners trying to get you to buy something. It wasn't the most restful trip I've ever taken, but it was a fantastic new experience.
