Lars the techno-junkie struggles with a lack of internet connection while Roger looks out upon the openess of the road and plains as we venture south towards the Atlas ranges. Upon arriving at the end of the road in the Ourika Valley one finds an ephemeral river that divides the valley while providing a life source for the Berber people.
We surveyed the site and took note of the elevations of terracing, while local kids admired their football heros on the rear of a delivery truck. As the Berber people try to hold onto their identity it is clear that the modern world is disrupting their existence - new trade and tourism from Westerners like our cohort give them choice never available before. The final image of the satelite dish laden donkey seems to sum up the countries current cultural position.
