Day 81: Sidi Fares

The last few weeks have been full of so many adventures here in Morocco that I've not had time to write about them...so apologies to all those waiting to hear from me.

I could tell you about the wonderful drives we have had through the mountains, the winding route to Sidi Fares and the friendly old man we met riding his donkey, our picnic on the hillside overlooking the fabulous Atlas mountains, the valley where three types of rocks converge and create villages reflecting their colours, the hang gliders soaring over the Kik plateau, not to mention the everyday newness of living here and all that life here brings. However, I've decided to show you instead through photographs just the one day of our visit to Sidi Fares...... a picture paints a thousand words...
