“The journey home is never a direct route; it is, in fact, always circuitous, and somewhere along the way, we discover that the journey is more significant than the destination.”—Paul Brenner (Nelson DeMille’s book, Up Country)

Morning After

Awoke at 5:15 A.M. to watch the sunrise. Desert air is very crisp. You
can hear the camels complaining as they are prepared for the return trek.

After breakfast we return to the auberge and our guide. After a fast car
ride back to Erfoud we catch a white Mercedes taxis for an equally fast
ride to Errachidia. From there we instantly boarded a bus headed to
Midelt.

Traveled through the mountains. Shortly before Midelt we saw snow
topped mountains.  Ate a huge meal at local street cafe. We had tajine and two "nes-nes" (coffee latties). Salad of fresh olives and tomatoes. Went to bed early, we are so tired from our desert adventure.

My shower felt pretty good after two days of travel.
