16/6/18: Atlas Hugged

Today Fan and I went on the tour I booked yesterday; I was a little skeptical about hiring a stranger to show us around, but it ended up being really fun. We started off at a home when some women were making argon oil by hand, and they showed us the process the product went through. After that, we got to ride some camels, which is kind of like riding a horse, except it bucks up and down more. After the camels, we ate lunch in an Amazigh village, and after that we went on a two-hour hike through the Atlas Mountains. Fan wasn’t a huge fan (sorry) of the hike (in fairness, it was pretty intense), but I thought the view was beautiful, and the hike was the best exercise I’ve gotten since arriving here. When we got back, we went to a surprisingly good Italian restaurant, and then came back to the hotel to rest. The hike took a lot out of us; Fan fell asleep while we were waiting for our food at the restaurant.
