Today's lesson focused on African Kingdoms. Mercer reviewed material about Morocco, its incredible scenery, old mountains, deserts, and ancient but modern cities. He watched a video clip about a famous foot race they host every year considered the granddaddy of all foot races. It is equivalent to running 5½ marathons over 6 to 7 days. It covers 151 miles. Each day's stage of the race is different in length, with the longest being 52 miles/84 km or almost two full marathons. Mercer spent the remainder of the class watching fun facts on the real-life lore channel. Mercer was on task.
