The author had abundant time at his disposal, and therefore allowed himself two years for the journey, lingering here and there as long as it suited his fancy, then moving on, regardless of plans, until he knew both Aalesund and Tetuan, and many other towns besides. This appears to be the author's first book. He later became the Mayor of Concord, New Hampshire. Ålesund is a port town on the west coast of Norway, at the entrance to the Geirangerfjord. It’s known for the art nouveau architectural style in which most of the town was rebuilt after a fire in 1904, as documented at the Jugendstilsenteret museum. There are panoramic views of Ålesund’s architecture, the surrounding archipelago and fjords from the Mount Aksla lookout. Tétouan, nicknamed the White Dove, is a city located in northern Morocco. It lies along the Martil Valley and is one of the two major ports of Morocco on the Mediterranean Sea, a few miles south of the Strait of Gibraltar, and about 60 km (40 mi) E.S.E. of Tangier.
