Morocco - the Beautiful Chaos!

Morocco. As Nelson dubbed it, the beautiful chaos! In our first trip to the African continent we traveled to Casablanca, Fez, into the Saharan desert, and rounded out the trip in Marrakesh. Each place was so unique. The people were very friendly to us. As one can imagine, Morocco in July is hot but we were lucky enough to have some unusually extra hot winds coming from deep in the Sahara in Algeria our entire trip. So 100+ everyday with hot breezes. Other than the heat, the country had so much to offer with natural beauty, an ancient history, and a unique culture that we truly enjoyed exploring. 

France and Germany with Family

We traveled through France where we spent some quality priceless time with Nelson's godmother Mary and her husband Girard. We always enjoy our time with them in Chateauneuf sur Isere. Allie enjoyed cooking and baking with Mary while Nelson enjoyed all the eating. From there we met Allie's mom in Lyon and traveled north through France with a day stop in Nancy, where Allie and her mom made the local newspaper! We then traveled to Frankfurt, Germany where we met up with Allie's Dad and brother. Overall it was a wonderful time spending time with those we love. ***Disclaimer*** - Do not look at these pictures when hungry. :)
