The Best Things to See on Your Trip to Morocco
Ah! Narrowing down the best things to do in Morocco is like trying to choose your favorite dessert. It can be so hard to choose what you want to see when you are there--especially when you have a limited itinerary. However, there are some spots that I would recommend you pick over others when you don’t have the time to hang for months in this amazing country.

Chronicles of the watchman
Late night musings It is now 1:37 a.m. as I type this. I am sitting outside the back door to the place that I call home. I have had a tumultuous 24 hours filled with the greatest of highs and a few low spots as well. So here is what has transpired since I left home (Empowering Grace Christian Center – An Apostolic House) this past Sunday. Well I guess I should start by detailing events from Saturday…

Bought a Ticket; Took a Ride
Old Town looked deserted and decrepit; almost sinister in its emptiness. Despite the lack of cars and the dark doorsteps of businesses long since deserted for the evening, I knew Kaktus Kate’s would be open around the bend. Their crowd might not be boisterously active on the Friday after the Fourth of July in Cottonwood, Arizona, but there’s comfort to be had in a small gathering of self-righteous millennialectuals sipping IPAs and discussing unchangeable concepts of a democratic republic. I say “comforting” only in the sense one can drown them out with jukebox music more successfully than one finds themselves capable amongst slobbering drunks.

An Eventful Journey
Some people's idea of torture is watching a loved one in pain or being interrogated for information. My idea of torture is a long train journey... With crying children... And a hen party in the same carriage. I'm not anti social by any means but seriously some people just have no awareness of the world around them! I mean would it be too much to ask for the parents to fill their baby's bottle with vodka or for the hen to accidentally get pushed under the train creating a more sombre and respectful atmosphere? I know exactly what you're thinking; why not book the quiet carriage? Well apart from the fact that they don't allow you to use devices like tablets etc even with headphones... I don't see why I should have to. Why should I have to suffer and change my life to accommodate people who give absolutely no consideration for others? Take this hen group for example. They've booked tickets separately, rather than as a group, and therefore their allocated seats are spread out throughout the carriage. Now instead of sitting in their twos and threes and keeping to themselves like any normal, considerate person would, they're continuing their conversations by shouting across the carriage at each other. Did I mention their also from Glasgow? Oh yes so not only are the rest of us having to listen to their drivel, we're having to listen to it in a high nasal accent. Think Rab C. Nesbit but 2 pitches higher and in surround sound...

10 Central London Museums to Visit When They Reopen
With Britain gradually reopening after the COVID-19 lockdown, London’s many museums can now sense a light at the end of the tunnel. However, it will be quite a challenge to get up and running again. Since they closed on March 18th, museums have lost around four months of revenue, and the combination of social distancing restrictions and a wider reluctance to travel will lead to a reduced income for many months. Major museums (The National Gallery, The V&A, etc) will be able to recover, but smaller museums are in genuine danger of closing. Therefore, it would be a good idea to support more obscure museums which often get overlooked by tourists and the public. These 10 Central London museums are in a particularly fragile position, but really deserve to stay open for years to come. It is certainly worth paying a visit to them during the remainder of 2020…
