We drove through the dades valley. Still having the atlas mountains in our sights we saw rock formations that are shaped like monkey paws. From there we visited a local family where we observed and then ate Berber pizza. It is bread, onion, a little fat, spices. It was really good. The family had 5 adorable little girls who sang a song for us. We then walked through another gorge with breathtaking views. From there we drove to a home hosted lunch with a local imam. There was a very lively discussion about Islam and the state of affairs among Muslims. We ended our day in ouarzazate which was once a French foreign legion city and now the heart of filmmaking in morocco. A word about the food. We are now in 10th day of eating tagine, basically chicken, lamb, or beef with squishy vegetables. The food is bland but can be spiced up with piquante hot sauce. On the way to marakesh.
