Morning in the Desert

Today was suppose to be our last day in Morocco however due to the snow storm that we had on our way to the camel trek we had to spend another night in Fez.
Which I don’t mind since Fez is a wonderful city. Oh I have to mention that this morning we woke up at it was only 2 C in our tent and getting out of bed was not pleasant, however seeing the sunrise in the desert was marvelous. Jane had taken some wonderful pictures! We had to climb the tallest sand dune to see it, 150 m. We didn’t climb to the top though, only about half way and by the time we got there we had shoes full of sand! And again running down I had another booter!

The camel trek back was uneventful, however Hamid made the girls proper turbans and gave them each a Berber name: Josephine is Fatima Couscous, and Emily is Isha Tagien. As we were driving back we passed the area where the snow storm was and most of the snow was gone, go figure.
Back in Fez we went looking for a non-Moroccan meal and let me tell you it was hard to find! We were just tired of the Tangiens that we have been having here! So we had spaghetti which was not on the menu but the guy made it for us which was great!
