more photos- catching up

Here are some more pictures from the last month- climbing Jebel Toubkal


This is base camp. Paid 62 dirhams for a mattress and 50 dh for one of the worst dinners I've ever had. On the way down the following day, we went hungry rather than get ripped off.
great view of the sunrise, nearing the top of Toubkal

volunteer sam, being awesome


I ran into this guy on top. As can be clearly seen by his hat and cigarette, he is french. He asked me something like "est-ce que vous-etes francais?" and I said "non, americain". He said something like "ah hahn hahn, les francaises sont premiers". and I said "la, lmghrba lluwl". This means no, the moroccans were first. This french guy's moroccan guide laughed heartily and then translated it to him and he slunk off.

least-well-outfitted toubkal expedition in history. We did most of the climb up in absolute dark using our cellphone flashlights to find the path.
