We Are Aware

Many of our friends (and definitely Leigh's parents) are going to scoff at the following. However, as Genna so wisely put it "Most people get tattoos to describe themselves; I think of tattoos as a marker of phases in your life."

So, we decided to join the two together and have thus etched in permanently the most pertinent and beautiful saying we have come across along our journies to both remind us of ourselves and of this time in our lives. Also, because we are NUTS.

We are aware, Alex and Rob especially, how lame this implies Genna and Leigh really are, but we have never claimed otherwise.

So...here it is:



So what the heck is it right? Well, in Morocco there are many cultures. Of all the people we met, we found the Berber culture to be the most welcoming, warm and open. One Berber region is in the mountains and speaks the language of Tamazirt. Tamazirt is also a word used to refer to the small villages of the mountain people. The written language incorporates some of the oldest symbols of the history of written word and can be compared with Japanese. Most importantly to us, literally translated it means "I am free."

Can you guess whose is whose and where they are?
