Our First Evening at the Flint Oasis

In the evening we drove a short 6 miles to the Flint Oasis, where we would spend the next few days.

First of all, getting to the Flint Oasis is not an easy task. We drove through a river of water (much coming from the melting mountain snow) and then had to park the car about ½ mile from the hotel. The owners brought out a very small donkey to carry our very heavy luggage through the river and then up the steep hill to our lodging. We had to step carefully on a man made rock path across the river (of course the donkeys unwillingly had to walk right through the flowing waters). After our, much appreciated, “Welcome Tea” on the terrace, overlooking the Oasis and the setting sun, we dined upon TAGINE and later Mary played flute and drums with the Berber drummers. Jubie and the rest of the group had a delightful time dancing to the Moroccan rhythms!
