Noraly is at it again. This time she is doing Africa, embarkation point Spain. Currently the series is in Fez, Morocco. So far it is interesting, although I expected the area to be desert already. Guess we need to upgrade and update our expectations and geography all at the same time… So we start off here. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/pMvfS5mbsiI/maxresdefault.jpg "ITCHY BOOTS New Season: this is where I am going!") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMvfS5mbsiI) Then her first encounter with the Moroccan police : [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/e1yVCCSfYS4/maxresdefault.jpg "I need their help. |S7 - E2|") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1yVCCSfYS4) And, finally, travelling the Moroccan countryside. Interesting things to see.

I love traveling. I also love staying at home. If I had the budget, I’d take two or three one week long trips every year. Visit a new place for at least one of those trips, then revisit a favourite for one of them. ---

We keep taking multi family trips, so new exotic places aren’t really on the radar, but new places in old areas are. Mostly camping trips near things to do, the star of the current spring trip is the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. And we are going to DC for a few days to hit the Holocaust Museum before my youngest goes to Germany for three weeks and visits Dachau. ---

The music in this one sounds a lot like Rachid Taha’s. I think this is the root of a lot of his music. He was Algerian/French. ---

She is quite the adventurer. People think I’m crazy to travel by myself, but I don’t go offroad into obscure places that I could easily disappear from. ---
