We rode camels on the Sahara this morning. Â The temperature was pleasant when we rode them at 9:39 this morning.
We visited a farmer who had 100 date palms. Â He showed us how he hand pollinated each branch. Â Â We also saw how he irrigated them. Â Then he climbed up one of the trees. Â He is very agile at 64 years old.
This is date harvesting time.
We went to Kahmlia where we heard a group play percussion and sing some Moroccan songs. Â It reminded me of the times I played Afro-Cuban rhythms in drum circles.
Our tent at the OAT tented camp where we stayed two nights.
