Trip to Quezzane.

Quezzane was a short trip to the north of Mechra Bel Ksiri, maybe 30-35 miles one way.

We were just wandering around to see what the country surronding us was like. It was quite different. I only visited there one time.

City Limits?

These markers were at all town entrance points.

Still at the entry point to the town.

Doesn't look very big from here.

Looking toward where we entered the town.
We climbed the hill behind the town to get a better overall view. It was worth the climb.
Looking at the town from the hill above it.
This is proof that it is much larger than it appears from below. I was surprised.
The streets were very narrow in some places.
We couldn't talk to anyone . None of us spoke French or Arabic and they didn't understand English. This was unusual as some normally knew a little English.
The only modern building that I saw in the whole place.
Back at Mechra Bel Ksiri.
These Pill Boxes are left overs from WWII. They were still in abundence all over the country.
