Ouzoud

Northeast of Marrakech , across some more lush farmland, is the largest market in Morocco at Atiaouilla.  This souk also had a large animal area along with food and many dry goods for sale.

Since this was the prophet Mohammed's birthday, the government offers free circumcisions.  We passed many tents set up as waiting areas for those wishing to have the service performed.

We had to stop to see some poppy fields and cactus plants I've never seen before.  I still don't know the name, but they look like brain coral.

One of the highlights of the entire trip is the Cascades d' Ouzoud.  We started at the top of the waterfall and hiked to the bottom of the 100 meters falls.  I have so many pictures that I divided them into the upper falls and lower falls.

Midway down the falls are the unique Barbary Apes.  Also have numerous pictures.

It was a couple of hours drive back to Marrakech.  For the second time on the trip we were allowed to chose a restaurant.  I think we were all getting a little tired of the tajine and hotel food.  So we actually had a chance to order from a menu - mine was spaghetti.  I should have ordered the tajine.
