Day 95: Shadow puppets

The most memorable part of the trip was the three days spent riding horseback through the Atlas Mountains. We stayed with Berber families en route and met the most wonderful, amazing people as a result. The houses had no electricity, no running water, no plumbing, no TV, magazines, computers. So we played shadow puppetry on the very bare kitchen walls with the light from a 'standard lamp' - made from a long piece of pipe poking out of a calor gas canister with a piece of gauze wrapped around the top.
The little boy, Aziz, was totally mesmerized by it.
