Day 5 - on the road to the dessert

It's incredible how much the terrain has changed since this morning. It's hard to believe that just a few hours ago, I broke out my purple cape and saw frost on the ground. We passed through the middle Atlas mountains, and have now hit the desert. We passed some rivers and a dam with some palmtrees and such nearby bit it's pretty much sand and scrub - they use adobe like construction, and are fond of highlighting the pinky colour of the buildings with sage green doors, so the effect is a little bit santa fe.
