Retreat Report: Day 4 in Morocco
Read MoreOne man on a mule is chanting in Berber as we slowly make our way up the mountain and the sound is almost meditative.
At first it seemed like a mirage as we approach two huge elegant tents housing fully-set tables and plates and plates of food: tagine, lentils, cucumber and tomato salad, fresh fruit. We’re literally in the middle of the Atlas Mountains, how are we eating this well?! Once we all are refueled, we start the final leg of the day to base camp. It’s starting to get a little colder as we hike and we pass a shepherd with at least a hundred grazing goats.
Finally, we see base camp in the distance. We make our way up and get settled in. Everyone is pretty exhausted by the end of this day so we have an early dinner.
Lights out. We have a (very) early wake-up call to summit tomorrow morning.
