Through the déserts of Morocco

I write from Errachidia, south of the Atlas mountains.

The 1st of July, I land in Maroccos. I bike south, I bike through the deserts on stones…

Une réflexion sur « Through the déserts of Morocco »

  1. Mon Dieu, tant de beauté, tu ne vas pas t’en remettre !
    Je suis très contente pour toi mais je sais aussi que ça va t’avoir remué à tout jamais, ce voyage-là – de ce que j’ai pu entendre de mes amis qui sont allés dans le désert…
