Adam contacted me, he was one of the two young guys we met in the town where the kids played “ Foosball” , or “babafoot” here in Morocco. Adam can be seen in the pictures teaching Aynsleigh how to shoot pool. He was a very impressive young man, 22 years of age and was so good with my younger children. He is from Marrakesh and was just in that town visiting his grandparents. His English is perfect, he’s very educated and had a charming personality. He offered to join us on our next part of the trip which I could only define as,” going to the beaches”.
It was a difficult decision, our family dynamics work well in traveling and we can pretty much sleep anywhere. When you add someone else you take a chance of changing those dynamics. Plus these are the last few days our family will be together for almost three months and we had to think hard if we really wanted someone to join us. Sure having someone to translate is great, but we’ve managed traveling around the world without a translator so we really didn’t need that.
Adam came by our riad and we instantly were reminded how much we enjoyed him and agreed we had room to include him. We never regretted the decision! He was a wonderful addition to our family. Adam stepped in when shoo keepers were too pushy letting them know that turned me off, he bargained for me, he secured apartments for us... he helped watch Loftin and truly cared for him. We fell in love with him and were glad we had the room for him. We didn’t alter anything due to his presence, he fit right in and rolled with all of our punches.
Our first stop was Essaouira! A wonderful shopping experience and a lovely beach town filled with wonder! There were many strays and we continued our tradition of carrying around cat food and dog food for them.
Adam secured us a nice apartment and a facility that washed and dried our food.
