My summer bathing hole


My site has alot of water. Here's one swimming hole that children use to swim in; measures probably 30 x 10 x 1.5 meters. I've been bathing here, swimsuit included, the last couple weeks and will probably continue. The water flows from one of two rivers in my site. Spring water also joins this river along its way through an irrigation system. So, this pool has multiple uses; for recreation, bathing, and irrigation. Next week, I'll try to post a photo of this irrigation system, which is impressive and began throughout much of Morocco during Roman rule.
