Dear Reader (2025-11-01 – posted simultaneously to FB)
You and I are on the road today, as this series transitions from the north side of the Atlas to the south side of those mountains.
Note on Photos
~ 01 – “Now Boarding”
~ 02, 03 – At a gas station
~ 04 to 06 – Out the window
~ 07 – Our guide bought tasty grapefruit size apples from a man and his son. They placed their scales in the bus shelter.
~ 08 – Crossing the Atlas range
~ 09 – We are not the first ones on this road. The Latin inscription marks the construction of a road by a detachment of the VI Ferrata legion in 145 AD.
~ 10 – 100 meters or so from the previous photo is a monument to the start of the Algerian revolution of independence. The first bullets in that 8 year war were fired near here on November 1, 1954.
~ 11 – Outside a hotel where we had a lunch stop.
~ 12 – I do give a fig.
