FROM FES TO CHEFCHAOUEN. Buses commonly stop after a couple hours of travel for a rest break, as there are no bathrooms on the bus. Here is a common sight of men grilling lamb kebabs for travelers' lunches. Note the fan used to keep the charcoal briquets glowing.

It is quite a different landscape here than what I am accustomed to seeing in the region I live in Morocco. Here there are lots of large wheat fields and tractors. The land is much more fertile, and there are more trees, hills, mountains, although everything is browned out because of the heat of the summer.
