Audrey, Ad and I set out to climb the mountain behinf us in the photo called the Cathedral by the French. It was about 3 hours up and the views are amazing.

Four berber guys were passionately lipping the words to My Heart Will Go On and It's All Coming Back to Me and it took every ounce of our energy not to burst out laughing.

Keyboards driving me crazy so that is all for now.
