Ifrane lion

This statue is located in Ifrane, which is a resort town in the Atlas Mountains. If you want people to know you have been here (where the king has yet another palace), you have your picture taken in front of the lion. This section of Morocco is unlike any of the other areas I have seen. The trees were losing their leaves, the air was fresh and cool, and there was water everywhere: ponds, waterfalls, rivers. I was almost homesick. Even the architecture was different. Because they get snow here in the winter, the rooves were pitched. We had a lovely walk through the woods along the water, and en route, Salah had a ride on a horse along the lake.
