Day 170: prompt : *ANIMAL ANTICS
On the dusty road from Marrakech to the coastal town of Essaouira, argan trees line the almost barren countryside.
Not always a guarantee, but we were fortunate enough to see the amazing goats that we had heard so much about, up in the gnarled, crooked trees grown exclusively in southwestern Morocco and western Algeria.
It is a sight to see. And it IS, real. The fruit's pulp is what attracts the goats to the argan trees. While the creatures will happily keep all hooves firmly on the ground and graze on low-hanging fruit, once they have gobbled the easy-to-reach produce, they will scramble up into the tree in search of more.
