Todra Gorge

As we make our way through Morocco, we had three days in Todra Gorge. Running along a sandy river, it had massive red-orange cliffs that rose a thousand feet into the sky.

We stayed in a hotel near a little village named Tizgui.





Jenny, my tent mate, and I walked through town exploring some of the old mud and straw buildings, seeing the preschool, walking along the river, and looking through shops.

When we came to one shop, we met a really nice guy named Mohammad. We talked outside for awhile then he invited us in for mint tea. He was ver hospitable. He runs his family's business of carpets, blankets, jewelry, scarves, and other things. They make the things themselves or buy traditional things from the Berber people up in the mountains. Turns out he has a very good friend who lives in Portland, OR, just a few hours away from where I live. Small world!
