High Atlas Trek
Posted on January 19, 2019 by Empty Nest Adventures
After the chaos and heat of Marrakesh, we were looking forward to getting back into our element. Being mountain people, trekking in the High Atlas Mountains and staying in a Berber village was something we were really looking forward to and we became more…

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”

What’s been your experience vacationing with friends? We were nervous about going on a pretty significant trip with two of our best friends because we didn’t want to ruin the friendship, but we came out of it with an even stronger bond. Any horror stories out there? Those are always more entertaining than the good ones. #vacationingwithfriends

It’s -7 F (-23 C) right now and I just want to stay in bed and read. Alas, it’s not to be. When we first moved to Colorado I had never had the experience of the inside of my nose freezing and it scared me the first time it happened. Stay warm out there my friends!

Have you played “What Do You Meme?” It’s like Cards Against Humanity with pictures. It’s perfect for large groups and if you like to laugh. It’s not so perfect if you’re easily offended or embarrassed. My favorite clean card was “When you’re so broke you have to go to sleep for dinner.” And my favorite dirty card was “When she wants it deeper but you’ve run out of dick.” Happy Thursday!

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes! It was our first time in Crested Butte and we will definitely be back to this sleepy little town in the Rockies. #mylovelanguageisqualitytime

Happy New Year!! Wishing you all lots of fun and adventure in 2019. Let’s get out there and do some cool sh*t! xoxo
One of the highlights of our time in Morocco was hiking in the High Altas Mountains, and staying in the Berber village of Imlil. The people we met will be friends for life. We were shocked and heartbroken to hear of the tragedy there last week. I am not ashamed to admit that I cried not only for the two women and their families, but also for our Moroccan friends. Tourism is vital to their livelihood. I pray people will continue to visit this wonderful place. Yes, there is evil in this world, but there is way more goodness.
