Snow on the Atlas today. Evidently it fell last night.

Camels vary greatly in size, also in colour, some almost being black. Ditto donkeys, which range from reddish fawn to almost black, the latter the commonest colour. Saw yesterday a donkey, evidently full grown, less than 3’ high. The man riding it had one foot on the ground.

The Atlas said to go up to 3200 metres (about 10, 000 feet.) (Actually about 13, 500.)¹
