Apple Festival and Barrage by Bike

La Salle Covert, Apple Festival 2013, Midelt

Solar panel production which is used in Midelt

Gorgeous presentation with fuji, gala, pink lady, jonathan gold

On a warm day with Mounaim

Artisans' sell their work

This truck picked up my camera on the side of the road which I temporarily lost

The water has gone down and salt has appreared

We made it 65 kilometers strong by bike

Just cooling off, a nice dip

Beautiful day for a ride!

Stopping for a chat

When quiet the lizards appear

Midelt has an apple festival once a year, farmers come and make displays of their apples and sell them for a profit. I was surprised to see types we have in America such as fuji, gala, pink lady and jonathan gold. They looked surprising large in size. The event was for three days and in the evening music played in a field where locals could gather and watch. It was crowded with some tourists and a lot of people neighboring towns. In lieu of the next bike tour coming, I went for another 65 kilometer prep ride to the Midelt barrage on a beautiful day. Along the way I dropped my camera from my vest pocket and didn't notice until much later down the road. A yellow truck stopped to pick it up and went further down the road to a place close to the barrage to work. I eventually saw the truck and asked about the camera which they graciously gave back to me. I had doubts and was deeply saddened before getting it back. Then I realized a bad situation turned into a good one and sometimes things do work out in your favor. It's one of the things I love about Morocco.
