Vacation 2011 Day 6 Over the Atlas

It rained most of the night in Marrakesh and when we drove south out of town we passed through some flooding. It was grey and cloudy all the way up into the Atlas Mountains and over the pass.

Coming down the other side the weather cleared up a little

But down in the lower country towards Ouarzazate there were sandstorms...

Much to my delight, some of the country was very reminiscent of northern Arizona.

It was a long day in a car and by the time we got to Nkob the light was fading and we settled in to our gite for the night.
