Day 1 - Baha Baha - Baja Baja - BaaHaa BaaHaa

Trip Description: Meet group for lunch in Ourazazate. After Lunch drive across the Atlas, via the Tichka Pass (7,413ft.) to N'Koob village on the fringes of the Sahara.

This is the place where we started our trek. A funky little joint called Baha Baha House. According to our guide (you'll meet him later) the father and son ownership team are both named Baha. Jesus, "junior" names are as irritating in Morocco as they are in the good old USA.

Outside picture, a palace or dungeon?

A pool, clearly palace!

It's early in the trip and most of the other folks are trying to politely engage me in some sort of BS chit chat.....Not there yet folks.....I just spent like 72 hours on a plane. Give me some time to sit in front of this fire like a crack addict looking @ their next fix, then I can be social.

This was a roof top photo taken by Mrs Dirtbagger. There is more green in this photo than we will see in a week. On the roof, kids are playing soccer. I gotta tell you, these damn kids here play soccer EVERYWHERE.
