Canal from the Atlas mountains to the fields around Beni Mellal. The water is deep and swift and the sides of the canal are very steep, which sometimes causes drownings among the workers who live near the farms. We watched a woman with a child on her back, baking bread in an outdoor oven. There was also a lady getting buckets of water from the canal, who was very close to the edge. We were holding our breath.

Henna for the "tourists". A good henna artist is skilled and works quickly. To get your money's worth make sure the henna is of good quality or it will fade very quickly.

View of the mountains from a Beni Mellal public school...so lovely!
