1 hr, 4.0 kms



Around the bend I come across a dirt path with a sign that says "Tanalt" . Damn. I'll be that was my shortcut. I suspect I’ve do a huge loop so far today. No big deal—the scenery has been interesting and as long as I make it to Tafraoute today, there’s no big hurry.

Around another bend is a village perched on the steep hillside. This village, despite the uneven terrain, actually looks like a market village where a market is held once a week. There are a line of closed up shops leading down to the main mosque. Not much going on here during the noon hours, so I continue on.
