Travelin' With the Folks

Okay, after SOOO much hassle I finally got these pics uploaded. Blogger has been driving me crazy and not letting me upload photos. Anyone else experiencing this problem? So we traveled for a week and here some pics from our time. We went to the village where my friend lives way down south and Jan I stayed at her house while Cody and Ron stayed with some American friends.

This is the Kasbah we have been to each time we make the trek to the village.

Of course they had to get us dressed up. Here is Jan as a Berber bride. I am posing with my North African serious pose (hard to get these people to smile)

This is my new rug!!! Click on the photos to enlarge, it's so colorful and a new style the Berber women are making. It's really cheap to buy rugs down south. I would never buy in the cities now, you pay triple the cost! (thanks for the Christmas present, Jan ;)

A beautiful women cooking some bread for the day. This is a shared oven, people just take turns cooking their bread and hanging out while they wait.

On the road to the village, this is an old gas station from a movie set. Tons of movies are filmed here. Anyone recognize this from a movie?

An old Berber women's hands dyed with henna.

Cute!!!

Me and my friend headed out to pick palm fronds to feed the goats.

Here is the next stop on our tour. A fishing town of the coast. It's very peaceful and chill and we really like this place. This is hooks attached to the side of boat.

Working the boats

Camel ride on the beach. I had to bargain for 20 minutes to get this dude to give us a little five minute ride to take our pics

I love this pic that Jan took and you can see my fresh henna work from the village
