The heart of Havana is not in the cafes, markets, or dance halls but at the infamous sea wall known as the Malecón. A symbol of strength and everlasting, the Malecón is where Cuban's come to discuss today's news, eat, dance, sip rum, or enjoy another magical sunset. Alongside three of the busiest neighborhoods, Vedado, Centro Habana, and Habana Vieja, there is something for everyone, every night of the week. My preferences were the music and conversations while drawing on a Montecristo #4.

Off the N13, between Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi desert, in the southeastern corner of Morocco.

On my first night in Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, on the first night of Ramadan, and after my first Iftar, I had my first Moroccan (Maghrebi) Mint Tea. Strong and sweet, like someone I know. Such a memorable night, that I can close my eyes hear the street sounds, and taste it all over again. Nothing like jumping right in -

POTUS, VP, EVERY SINGLE Republican Senate and House Representative is responsible for, and should be held responsible for, this insurrection. An apology like a 7 year old is UNACCEPTABLE - they had 4 years to protect our Democracy and they FAILED
