En route to the border of Morocco
Monday, December 23 we tardily left Atar due to the search for a
butcher to buy meat! The visit of Aguenni was disappointing the
village was deserted and the gueltas without water, except rain
season, after one hour of walk return. The village of Azougui was
the occasion to Ahmed to supplement his not-facts purchases in Atar,
still not of meat. Finally in Choum Ahmed found meat and made the
complement of diesel fuel at the Total gas station. from Choum to
the exchanger of the road from Nouadhibou to the border the track
follows the railway of the train ore tanker from Zouerate to
Nouadhibou. The track is very quite visible with soft sand passages,
without difficulty and interest. As with his practice, Ahmed stops
at known bivouacs of him to sleep either under the tent of nomad or
in a hut safe from wind with a she-camel milk bowl. This time it is
about a railway station of shunting, in the middle of nowhere, with
its hospital employee. In the night I perceived the slow humming of
the four motor coaches of the mining convoys.

En route to the border of Morocco
Tuesday, December 24 we visited three sights. At the Ben-Amira
station we saw the train of the tourists with its two coaches, one
with imperial and air-conditioned the other simple car. Then after
the control of gendarmerie we approached the two monoliths,
Ben-Amira then Aicha. The first is the second larger in the world,
the second accommodated at the end of 1999 the international
symposium of sculpture on rock to militate in favor of peace. Heat
was very testing; we stopped during about ten minutes to let rest
engines and drivers before the dune cords. Indeed the track along
the railway line crosses several dune cords slowing down the
progression in always attractive landscapes. The bivouac was
established in a hollow safe from omni present wind.
