We started our trip at a salt harvesting operation near Ouirgane. The water 60 feet below the ground is very salty.

Climbing up the mountains we have a great view back into a valley with several towns.

The little village of Ardamene sits on the side of the N'fis River. The river was damned and no water comes by the village anymore. You can see their fields in the river bottom, so they must be pumping from wells.

We stopped at an olive oil farm in the town of Aghbalou.

They were making paste out of the olives by grinding them in a big roller machine. The paste is placed on the tower and a cover put over the paste. This happens over and over until there is a tower then it is rolled over to a hydraulic press.

We were invited into the cafe owner's home - this is the old kitchen - our tea came from the new kitchen.
