At our first pit stop at one of these locations, Bill purchased several geodes and a fossil
within minutes. Apparently we overspent because the shop keeper gave me a free gift of another fossil.
Looking back at the trip, I wish we spent a little more time shopping on the road sides
here instead of in Fez. We thought that if we saw it there it would be in Fez, too, but that is
not always the case.
Some of the items I should have purchased were the beautifully colored ceramic tajines
(plate with a cone cover used for serving tajine), and the jewelry. I did not see a lot of
affordable jewelry in Fez.
After several hours, the road begins to descend. The landscape changes into a rocky, sandy desert.
There are a few towns that we went though until we arrived in Ouarzazate for lunch.
