Went to a couple of locations that had been browsed
by goats. We saw Cistus salviflorus and C. populifolius and a
small scilla. No luck with peonies or barbary apes.
Did see a narcissus that had been first discovered in 1986. |

Home to Chefchaouen early to enjoy a tour led by
Mohammed through the old town. Visit to Berber carpet salesroom

The first house to be painted

Many of the houses of the old town have some blue paint. |

Wonderfully patterned carpet very
densely stitched, more suitable as a bed covering or wall hanging
than something to tread on. |
