My hope for this blog is not just to document my adventures as I prepare to retire from the College of DuPage but to offer you a chance to stay in touch. My children are long grown and on their own; my mother is doing quite well at the age of 90. I am looking for new moorings; a task which offers challenge and opportunity. There are comment features for you; and blogspot will alert me when someone posts a comment. I am still teaching Political Science at the College of DuPage for a couple more years. Please stay in touch!
Drove through the High Atlas Mountains to visit the 12th century Tinmal Mosque. It's where a fundamentalist movement, founded by Ibn Toumart, began, which challenged the ruling powers and was a predecessor to the Almohads, who went on to conquer much of present-day Morocco and Spain. The mosque today is much in need of restoration or preservation. The original roof has collapsed.
