Annnnnnnnd… back home. 🛬 Feels good. 😃 But this jet lag… bleh.😒

I’m feeling upbeat about returning to a more normal blogging schedule. It’s part of my life and I miss it when I’m off-grid for a long time. Of course, I kept my travel journal up-to-date, so writing was still a thing.

Location check in 🗺 — Final step before being back home. Some news from home: forests fires still rage and my fridge is broken. Lost some food along the way, I guess. Oh well.

Location check in 🗺 — First step in returning home. What a wonderful trip that was. 😍

WSJ: Goldman Sachs wants to bail on Apple Card partnership after $1B loss, in talks with Amex

Goldman Sachs is in talks with American Express about transferring its Apple partnership

Could this be the needed change for Apple Card to come to Canada? It’s a long shot but who knows… As a reminder, American Express was the very first partner to bring Apple Pay to Canada. They had a six-month exclusivity deal with Apple at that time.

I have spent the last two days at an all-inclusive in Agadir, Morocco. It’s quite busy here with a lot of people everywhere. People are from Morocco and mostly Europe. I don’t see many Russian (none actually). The worst part of our experience here is at the buffet. People are eating way too much, … read more

The time for a wrap up to this trip to Morocco is coming soon. Here’s one quick fact: I took 2 times more pictures with my iPhone than my Nikon. This ratio keeps increasing with each year. 🤨

I’m trying out “Weather on the way” (App Store link) for today’s road. Interesting take on weather forecasts. Carrot Weather should add this feature! We’re leaving Marrakesh one day earlier because of 🥵🥵🥵

We are staying at La Maison Arabe, a well-known Riad in Marrakesh. This hotel is full of corridors, stairs and interior jardins forming a complex maze where we can get lost pretty easily. It’s like Fes’s médina. Beautiful place, really.

Thought of the moment: to those who think that AI will cause human extinction, we must fight against it, is the wrong way to tackle the debate. It is borderline demagoguery.

Location check in 🗺 — Finally. Visiting tomorrow with 45C temp. 🥵

Location check in 🗺 — Magnificent place. Photos soon. I swear!

Location check in 🗺 — Time for a quick lunch before continuing our road!

Location check in 🗺 — Desert is 🥵

Date: June 21, 2023 at 5:54:55 PM GMT+1 Weather: 29°C Mostly Clear Location: Derb Salaj, Fes, Fès-Meknès, Morocco What a strange, busy, surprising place. Strangely, I didn’t take as many pictures as I could. I guess I was too busy looking around me, up, down, everywhere. 🤯 Visiting this Medina was … read more

Location check in 🗺 — Arrived today late afternoon. Visiting the médina tomorrow.

When staying at a five star hotel equipped with a slow internet, you want to… 😡 sync your stuff, share photos but it takes like fovever.. 🤬 well, never mind. I shouldn’t complain. 🤦🏻‍♂️ But don’t expect any photos soon. Sorry. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Location check in 🗺 — Wow, such a different look here. 😍
