After we crossed the Mid Atlas mountains the sky cleared to a brilliant blue...the wind is still very cold......we are driving to Midelt...just out of town is a gorge which we visit and climb along the ridges for about an hour.....we come across a sheperd with his sheep and goats....and then descend to a little village of Berbers....the original people of Morocco.....before the Arabs arrived. The village is very small and made up of mud brick dwellings and narrow alleyways....the kids are coming home from school....so we spend 15 minutes with them...luckily the Canadian couple speak french as the kids speak French as well....in fact Samir, our guide, helps them with their homework and they ask us to write our names and where we come from so they can show their teacher .....much hilarity and picture taking...I will post some more of this encounter later....we are staying in a Kasbah tonight (pictured)....the other photo is taken from our room window, looking towards the High Atlas.....which we are to cross tomorrow
