Arriving in Marrakech

---

We drove over the High Atlas Mountains today to Marrakech. More later.
This is a very busy place. We're in a 3 star riad (inn). Left the bus. Now traveling by horse and buggy. (Like true tourists)

Snow on high Atlas Mt
We drove over the mountains on a road built by the French. (The French Foreign Legion, in fact)
The French wanted to subdue the Berbers in the southern part of the country.

View of the rolling hills
As we moved up the range, we passed a lot of these rolling hills. In the summer it's all brown.

Our road
A lot of the road was very narrow. Big tractor trailers, truck loads of cows, and other busses were all trying to pass one another

Road cinstruction
The government was paying to have the riad improved. I wondered if more mining would be started.

Our road
Sorry, can't get it right. Tilt your head.

The Golden State
A very familiar landscape! It reminds me of California when it's not raining...the Golden State! With a little bit of Martian Red thrown in, too
