A full day of painting around our riad today for the artist cohort while most of the non-painters opted for a drive into the Dadès Gorges and up into the High Atlas Mountains.

Ev started the day with a master class. Some painted on the terrace …

… while some snoozed in a hammock …

… while the explorers walked along the river in the Dadès Gorge.

We drove to the 2500 metre peak for a misty but spectacular view.

Later in the day back at the Perle du Dadès riad, there was a massage for some in the hammam, a swim in the huge (and very deep) pool for others, more painting, or snoozing. And for me a chance to relax in Pam’s and my own little villa in the gardens where I am tapping out this blog in the twilight.

A short travel day tomorrow as we begin our Road to Marrakech journey.
