Day II on Agadir Trip....










This was our room in Agadir.










Judy is hilarious...she keeps trying to talk all of us into returning to teach next year. So she is showing off the kitchen and saying how nice it is and reminding us that we could visit there any time!!....right.



The next day we headed north toward Essaoura. We came across this shepherd and his herd of camels along the beach.

Here we are....Judy, Robin, Lynn and myself...and the camels in the background!



This cost me 2 dh (like 40 cents) to pose with the shepherd! :) He was happy!



The ride along the coast was beautiful scenery and ...

cute little villages along the way!



A little meat for lunch anyone??



...or maybe tagine? It's really pretty good! It's like "stew" in America. It is cooked in these cute little pots.


This is what the road signs look like! Agadir - 74 km. ahead.

Then we came along the most amazing sight! These are goats climbing this tree! The tree is called an Argan tree and is only found in Morocco! The goats climb the tree, eat the fruits, spit out or excrete the seeds inside the tree, then the ladies gather the seed/nut and make Argan oil for cooking and Argan oil for the skin....suppose to be very healthy!



This is the little "shepherdist"....isn't she cute! :) She was very sweet to let us take her photo. Although....we paid her also!




This is our little cracker-box of a car for 4 grown women with all our luggage! :)

Some children getting out of school. In the Moroccan schools they go 6 days a week.

This crazy guy was going around curves wayyyyy too fast. We finally passed him and stopped worrying about him tipping over on us! Carpets are realllllly heavy! I'm not sure what he was thinking!!


Here is Judy trying to barter with the man over some Argan oil. She is trying to decide if he is telling the truth about it being for the skin. She thinks in a large bottle like this it is probably for cooking, but he keeps saying "La!" and rubbing his skin!! :) She ended up buying some from him! We laughed and laughed! She has such a big heart for these people!


This was on the beach in Essaoura. They get lots of tourists to pay for rides on their camels.





Horses along the beach.


Can you tell which are the camel foot prints and which are mine?? :)

A cute little cafe by the beach.

The hotel we stayed at. It was a fairly nice room. We never did figure out how to run the air, so we opened a window and slept great!

Returning from our walk to the beach.




We asked locals for the best fish place to eat. The food was okay....cute little place though.


My favorite photo of the day.....this was taken on our way home that night. The moon was full and just beautiful!!
