with one week to go, team m.r.h is still frantically packing up boxes and deciding what is going where. california, ny storage, italianate escopade, and then??? the magnum query we'd like put to rest. when our future president - ben ali - decided to run for the 5th term seems to have thrown u.s. diplomats in to a quandry and spelled potential disaster for tunisian fulbrighters - now possibly heading to morocco? yup that's right, could be a radical right turn across the sea as we head from roma to casa blanca - or daralbeda in arabi. we'll see where all this goes, for now, suffice it to say that we're having a rough time packing up our life into convenient discrete packages for the mailing, toting, storing, and living amist the 60,000 mile summer that we're logging in the air, roads, trains, campers, ferries, and motocycles. carbon offsets anyone?the questions we're posing - what do we need, what will make the weeks of travel convenient with a almost terrible-wonderful two-yr, and what will make our return as smooth as possible - i.e. what do we need to get a job, a house, and friends once we land in the next local.
official schedule is as follows - subject to changes of tides, clouds, thunderhail, or nice sunsets.
