One of the greatest expeeriences I've ever had was in Morocco. It was a trip to the desert. A group of us set off from Marrakesh at 7 a.m. in minibus and headednsoutheast. the countryside on the way was very unusual, with dry gray cliffs, and below them in the canyons there were lots of green plam trees. When we got to the Atlas Mountains, we ran into a snowstorm, and it got very could in the bus. It's incredible to think that the hot desert was so near.
