Sundown on the boardwalk
The end of the road

Today included a visit to the Tangier American Legation – a wonderful exhibit, the oldest American diplomatic property, and the only US historic landmark overseas. Morocco was the first country to recognize American independence.

Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
