Taste of Manitoba

Things today did not turn out as planned. Today was supposed to be our camel trek out to the desert. We got an early start, no rain....but then we tried to drive over the Atlas mountains. As you can see from the picture (Mike is there somewhere pushing), we hit a blizzard of Manitoba proportions! But of course there are no snow tires, shovels or mitts! We had to turn back and go to Marrakech instead. We made a little stop for lunch - Moroccan specialty. Chopped up meat, various kinds, BBQed with tomatoes and onion and eaten in fresh baked bread. It was like a hamburger, but they don't show you the meat like this at McD's! It was hanging right there...notice the testicles too! Killed last night ready for the morning. He chopped it up right in front of us. Of course I'm thinking were all in for food poisoning or E. coli for sure, but I feel ok today! After 12 hours in the car, every Ipod was dead, we made it to Marrakech thanks to our amazing driver Hasani!! Our tour guy is busy rearranging the trip and hopefully we'll get our camel experience another day.
