These are pictures of the trip from Marrakech to Ouarzazate.
As you can see, gorgeous and many switchbacks, for miles. Through snow capped mountains, and then over to the desert side. The buses do not have bathrooms, and sometimes the stops along the way are infrequent, so intake of fluids in great quantity is not wise!
The red hanut (name for small stores) displays the often-seen Coca Cola sign, usually both in English and in Arabic. The writing on the hill is seen fairly often, and states, "God, Nation, King" (thank you to the Moroccan reader who corrected my original blog which said it was a verse from the Koran.)
This photo is outside my classroom at the recent spring camp in Figuig where I helped, with Hannah giving some instruction to the campers. Here is a picture of the two camp coordinators. The woman on the left is my friend Judy from WY, who was in charge, and the young blond, Hannah, is a volunteer who lives out in that area, and whose language skills are incredible. Wonderful volunteers and friends.
Here I am in the back of the bus, listening to their singing, and clapping along.
The photo of many of us cleaning, snapping green beans for our "American" supper night during the camp.
The campers have their own version of "jacks" where they just use one smaller rock to pick up other rocks. It isn't easy...I tried!...
And last, a universal method to keep birds out of crops...

actually, what is written in that hill side is the national motto "God, Nation, King"
