@BillW,
Your story reminded me of when I was stationed in Morocco with the US Air Force. A few of us were able to catch a flight from our base not far from Marrakech to Tangier. We went to this bar, and I saw this beautiful Spanish woman who worked there, but I didn't speak Spanish, but a guy in our group did. He was able to convince her to date me. We spent two days together, and on the second day, we spent the whole afternoon at a restaurant on the cliff of Tangiers overlooking the Med. I have, or had, a picture of her, but can't seem to locate it now. There was a guy in our squadron who married a Muslim woman, and he had to have circumcision, and he didn't even speak their language. That was the most stupid thing I saw in the Air Force. All things considered, I'm glad I never married that woman, because it would have created too many problems for my future. Most importantly, I would never have finished college when I returned to civilian life. A lot happened since then to now, but that would require a book. LOL As I've mentioned earlier, I have visited Australia a couple of times, but most of it was spent on the eastern half of the country, mostly around Cairns, Port Douglas, Sydney, and Melbourne. Did visit Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef. All good memories.
