Donna's village

After arriving in Taroudant, Donna met us and we took a taxi to her village.  Her house is only a few metres from the main road, but a real step back in time.  The villagers were so friendly.  One lady brought us fresh eggs for breakfast and the children were most curious about the "visitors".  There was an outdoor "oven" to bake bread, chickens, roosters, lambs, and many types of fruits and vegetables.  The view towards the main road was of the snow-capped Atlas. 

Donna had a lovely homey one-floor, plus roof, house.  Luckily, Donna gave up her ponge for me to sleep on and slept on a very thin foam mattress while Linda slept on the floor.

We spent the evening relaxing and chatting over dinner with a glass or two of red wine.  It was early to bed as we had a full day of sightseeing planned for Tuesday.

It is nice and warm here.  The night temps are a tropical 12-13C, whereas, at Ouarzazate they now range from -1 to 3C (no heating).

I am trying to post photos, but because it is Sunday the internet is terribly slow even one photo at a time. Sorry, it's a no go uploading photos tonight. You will get a series of photos from Donna's when I am able to upload, hopefully tomorrow morning.
