First, some news. The bidlist (a coveted list of places where I could next be assigned) is out, and in the next few weeks I have the pleasant duty of deciding whether Switzerland or Spain or Argentina or China or any number of places is the one I'll be living in next. I know, it's a tough life. It is, of course, rather more complicated than spinning a globe. The timing has to fit my schedule (including language training, etc.), I have certain requirements to meet to be tenured, and a host of other issues must be addressed. But there are a good 30 cities which meet most of the criteria, and I can only go to one. I do have the advantage of choosing first on account of being in Yemen, which means I must choose wisely. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted as the results come back in, which should be sometime in early January.
To tide you over, here's a few more photos from Spain and Morocco:
