Beach bound. The Road to Essaouira

After spending most of our time inland with the exception of a couple of days in Tangier and Rabat we headed on a 3 hour bus ride to Essaouira from Marrakesh. Essaouira is a little surfer/hippie beach town in the south of Morocco that is known for its sardines, Argan trees and having a very relaxed "vibe."

We saw a lot of this in the middle part of our ride. Pretty exciting stuff!

Once we got within an hour or so of the coast we started to see some agriculture pop up. 
These are Olive trees I think...
 
More farms off in the distance.

We saw some much larger, likely corporate farms too.

I didn't manage to get any good photos of the numerous orange farms. They had much larger fences and were more well protected, not conducive to good photos.

Goat TREE?!*%

Did I not mention that the road to Essaouira is known for it's  Goat Trees™? Yes, yes it is. This is only one of the 6 or 8 trees that we passed near Mejji. You can google "goat tree Essaouira" and find this. You're welcome.

The Argan tree preserve just outside of town.
