Hello friends and family!

As many of you know, we have had the opportunity to travel together to a number of amazing places, and LOVED every minute. We are incredibly excited about our first big trip as husband and wife.

We have lived together for a few years now, so there isn't much we need around the house, but look forward to thinking of each of you when we go out for tapas or to see a soccer match in Spain or take cooking classes or a camel ride in Morocco.

Thank you for being part of our lives, our "big day" and our honeymoon!

Love,
Adam and Jenn
(The Tassi's)

We're going to Spain and Morocco!

We arrive in Madrid, Spain just days after the wedding and will spend 3 nights right in the heart of Madrid before catching a train south to Seville, Spain. In Seville, we will spend an additional 3 nights in a boutique hotel in the Barrio de Santa Cruz.

From Seville, we will take a train further south then a ferry across the Strait of Gibraltar to Morocco. The first stop in Morocco after a long day of travel will be Tangier, the port town where the ferry arrives. We will spend a single night in a hotel right on the beach (with an amazing roof patio to match) before we get on another train to Fes, one of the oldest cities in Morocco. In Fes, we will stay 2 nights at a riad (Moroccan equivalent to a B&B) within the medina (walled city square containing narrow maze-like streets), which is car-free; meaning, we will travel by foot and by donkey! Next, we take the train to Casablanca for 1 night before continuing onto Essaouira, an adorable fishing town with a lot of culture. Our last stop before heading home will be 3 nights in Marrakech, home to the largest traditional souk in Morocco and one of the busiest squares in Africa.

The total trip will be about 2 1/2 weeks, and we just CAN'T WAIT!
