R.A.T. Your Rodent Around-the-World Traveler (a.k.a. Raz)

Hi, My name is R.A.T., which stands for Rodent Around-the-World Traveler (I like to think it stands for Rodent Adventure Traveler), but everyone here calls me Raz for short. I would love to share my adventures with you. I left my rat family in early January to seek adventure. Everyone said "head west young rat," so that is what I did. I headed west to San Diego, California where I ran out of land and had to hop on a ship to continue my journey. It turns out that the ship I found was going west around the world--a dream come true! The MV Explorer is home to the famous Semester at Sea study abroad program. My shipmates include 629 college students and about 150 faculty, staff, lifelong learners, and family members. Things are really busy here on the ship and even busier when we are in port. Come follow me vicariously as I take this incredible journey. Yours, R.A.T.

P.S. I had such a great time on the voyage that the adventure continues!!!!

RAT in the World: Morocco



 The beautiful Hassan II Mosque or Grande Mosquée Hassan II in Casablanca with the tallest religious tower in the world (210m).

 

And a retractable roof (which was closed when we were there.

 
We went to several other interesting cities.
 
Including Fez with its beautiful arch.
 
 
 
Saw leather production in Marrakesh.
 
 
 
A triumphal arch in the ancient Roman city of Volubilis.
 
Here's one of its wonderful mosaics.
 

  

The blue city of Chefchaouen is really blue!
