Berber Culture

While we were on the WWW trip, I learned new things about how the Berbers live, and their culture. The Berbers don't use cars, trains, motorcycles, and  sometimes bicycles as transportation devices. Instead of these, they walk on foot or ride mules and donkeys. Since there aren't many roads, this makes going from one place to another more hazardous, long, and difficult. The paths are rocky, sometimes narrow, and sinuous so the people walking on them have to be cautious and used to it.

Mules and donkeys are a good way to get around in the mountains. They are used to the rocky terrain and the steep slopes. They can also carry heavy loads and withstand rain and sun. Not all families have the privilege to own a mule or donkey and finding them isn't always easy. The danger of riding a mule in the mountains is that the mule can fall of the side but it is the fastest and most efficient way.
