Camels

I borrowed this photo of the two camel statues guarding the entrance to Tan Tan. The mountains are gone, the land is flat, and the dust blows.  While there we saw a few herds of camels grazing near the road on the way to the beach.  While sitting at a cafe at the beach, a pick up type truck drove by with two camels in the back.  On several occasions I also ate camel.  Auday has long told me that breakfast should consist of camel milk and dates.  I asked several people about this and they all confirmed it, but said that camel milk was not available north - even in the southern city of Ouarzazate. It surely must be the breakfast of real desert men!!!
