Morocco - Day 3 - Driving Adventures

We woke up & had breakfast at 8 again.  It was very similar to the first day’s breakfast.  They had hard boiled eggs, pancakes, flat bread, yogurt, & fruit. . . & more of the hand squeezed orange juice.  It was SO good.

Then we hopped into the car for our 8 hour drive.  I continued to talk to Hmed about everything in the country. He was from the desert on the border of Algeria.  He is the oldest of 7 kids & he told me his mom was his hero.  She was a tough woman with a big heart.  She worked hard his whole life to give them a good life.  He really enjoyed talking about his family.  We saw a lot of more women carrying the sticks/brush/grass on their backs this morning.  It looked SO hard.  I wanted to just jump out of the car & help them.







































We drove to the largest gorge in Morocco & got out for about 30 minutes to hike through the gorge.  There was a creek running through it & it was very beautiful.  This is a huge spot for rock climbing.  It takes about 6 hours to rock climb the entire gorge.  We were watching a few rock climbers do it too.  The cliffs were SUPER high & beautiful.  It felt good to stretch our legs a bit.




















Then we hopped back in the car for more driving.
