Life in the Atlas Mountains and the Desert

Slept overnight under the stars in a Berber tent at Zagora (impressive dunes)and saw a wonderful ksar, Ait Benhaddou, where such films as The Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia were filmed. Saw some other kasbahs and ksars; but this was the most impressive. The wind blows hot during the day; but at night, it's nice. I could see so many stars, especially the Milky Way and Big Dipper. Today visited a Berber village market in Asizmiz, where you could buy a donkey for about 118 dollars (1000 dirhams). Many young people come to the Espace Internet and meet their friends through earphones and a device that lets them see each other. It's called Ucom and must have a small camera, connected through a USB port to the computer, in it.
