Day in Midelt
... Morocco to be like. Dry, arid, rocky land. But the next minute you came to a small green patch where a farmer had ploughed and planted a small crop of onions or wheat or flowers.

Around Azrou, you would not know you are in Morocco if ...
And the crazy canadian dances the night away
... and tried to encourage people to join me (with varying degrees of success). It was a looooooong song, though, so I danced and danced and danced.
