This morning in Fez, Vicki, Nina and I each had a deep fried donut with an egg (we never thought about our arteries at the time). It was a local dish and very tasty. The price for 3 donuts, 1 cafe au lait, and 3 mint teas was 50 MAD.
We left Fez behind in the pouring rain for our auberge just outside of Midelt in the Middle Atlas Mountains. On our way we stopped in a ski resort place for tea and pastries. Pain au chocolate was 3.50 MAD and the tea was 20 MAD. Our breakfast was a better deal.
We drove through rain, land coated in snow and snow blowing across the road. At this point, there was a hold up on the road as an RV was over on it's side. Our driver started to drive up the road but got stuck because he had to stop for other cars that decided to pass through at that time. We all hopped out of the van and pushed it to get going, then we ran to the other side to hop back into the van. On the other side of the pass it was clear if snow and rain and the land looked arid and dry.
We stopped in a small village called Zada for lunch. Vicki and I shared a tagine with a little goat meat, peas, onions, and tomato for 50 MAD.
We stopped at a national park full of cedar trees and saw adorable monkeys.
Now we're at our auberge just outside of Midelt and we were told to have our shower at night before supper because we only have hot water from 6:00 pm until 7-8 pm. There wasn't much water but it was hot.
Just ate a fabulous meal of vegetable soup, couscous with lamb and veggies. The veggies are so fresh and the lamb was tender. I had a fruit salad for desert with cherry juice.
Now we're listening to local Berber musicians.
