Then we were back on the road.

T_24_0628 Our stop for the night was at Auberge Camping Atlas in Tinerhir (we did not camp).

But we did go for an evening stroll in the valley below the village.

We met these young boys in the old rubble of an abandoned settlement.

This valley below the village was an oasis of greenery and small farm plots.

W_24_0054 Near the end of our walk, late in the evening, we came upon a herd of Barbary Sheep. A lucky encounter.

They come down from higher elevations to feed in the farm fields in the evenings.

We returned to our hotel for our dinner and the night.
