2013A: Farewell to Morocco
During my last 6 months living in Morocco, I went back to my favorite regions around Morocco--as well as nearby Spain and Portugal to sort of wrap things up... see the places that I'd missed and do some more long Superhikes through the most interesting parts of the country. Finally, with over 500 towns visited and 11 Superhikes done, I can confidently say... I have thoroughly explored Morocco. It will be a bittersweet farewell.
