Small update, pictures

On the bus, driving into the mountains outside of Marrakech

I just went through and selected pictures to illustrate the last post, so go check those out.  We are in the hills of the Atlas Mountains on our way to go to a Berber house.  All I know about the Berbers is that they are an unofficial nation in Morocco who played a big part in Morocco’s history.  They have their own dialect and they live in the hills.  We’re going to the house of a Berber family who is going to show us what it’s like up there.  The scenery outside is phenomenal: snowcapped mountains rising from green fields and hills.  We have nice weather today, good for taking pictures.  Expect a lot of pictures later of mountains.  Camels are on the agenda today as well.
