visit to a troglodyte house -

The Sahara,, can you see the houses? Or caves?













An interesting visit to a troglodyte house (1. A member of a primitive people that lived in caves, dens, or holes; a cave dweller.) Be grateful I didn't take pictures of the millions of insects crawling all around, ugh I still have the hee-bee gee-bees from it. But they are there the same reason the people are, because it's cool and provides an excellent shelter. The Berber people of the Sahara have been living like this for 1000's of years but this place is no more than 300 years old. I couldn't get a clear shot of the woman grinding her grain, she as moving to fast!
