More Atlas Mountains
on our side of the bus.
Atlas Mountains
We could see the Atlas Mountains in the distance.
Nap!
It was a long bus ride!
Lots of green
We really expected at some point for there to be some desert but there wasn't. Even when there weren't crops, they had grass growing.
Cactus farm
We saw a lot of these fields full of cacti. I think they're cactus farms, they're too square to not be on purpose.
