... in golden wheat fields and olive groves. Dramatic clouds were rolling in. It was even more ruined than Ephesus, but there were hardly any people there at all and the scenery was so grand that I just loved it. Then it started to rain. Ah, sweet rain! What a relief!

There were so many mosaic floors in Volubilis. Just stunning! And a lot of stork nests. I want to go back and run all over the hills. But we had to keep moving, onward to Fes!

... learn Arabic. How cool is that?! I told Yhtimad, the person who managed the space, that libraries in the Nicolet Library System (where I work), are now offering language classes for Spanish speakers. She said they used to offer classes for Spanish speakers, but they are looking for a new volunteer to teach the classes. Again, I would love to see ways in which our libraries can offer ideas or materials ...

... too rare internet cafe, tapping out emails on the funny keyboards, many of the letters sitting in unfamiliar places.   We'd heard that Meknes had an excellent night market at the main square, but the rain had reached torrential proportions so we settled for a very light dinner at a juice bar and skype calls home before calling it a night.  Tomorrow we set off for Fes, fingers crossed that it goes better than Marrakech. All our best from Morocco Dan and Gabes

... colonies. Finally, French men. LEAVE MY GIRLFRIEND ALONE. SHE IS CONDUCTING SERIOUS RESEARCH IN YOUR COUNTRY AND YOU ARE MAKING HER LIFE DIFFICULT BY BEING SLEAZEBALLS. BE GRATEFUL THAT ANYONE FINDS YOUR COUNTRY INTERESTING ENOUGH TO WANT TO RESEARCH IT!!! Finally, you know what this is really all about? I like French cafe culture, I like the well turned out people, I love your museums.....i know a lot of French people. What is ...

... to make everyone irritable. But all that irritation melts away at sunset. People all break their fast with a ritual meal of harira soup, an egg, figs, dates, and honey pastries, washed down with freshly squeezed orange juice. People joyfully embrace on the street and happily share their food with friends and strangers alike. The ordeal of daylight fasting gives way to evening revels, and there's music in the streets all night long.

... by someone up where the sun dont shine...Wayne...i dont think that is likely...its possible i'll get knocked down but more on the Moroccan style of driving later... Leaving home was emotional so the only civilised response was to hit the double whiskeys on the train and to drink copious amounts of 'wife beater' with Mark in London - ideal preparation for the journey ahead..... Finally got onto the plane on Wednesday morning and it always ...

... enough and some nice wares but a word of caution about the shop. I'm pretty convinced the goods were all seconds and at very high prices to boot. It was pressure selling, so be warned. You can buy Fes pottery just about anywhere else, in perfect condition and a lot cheaper too. Didn't take to the guy in charge of the pottery who gave the tour. Very abrupt and with a revolting set of teeth -when he smiled it looked like Boot Hill Cemetery on a rainy day. Finally got ...

... or any one of another couple dozen B.S. stories. Morocco is best known for its kilims, which are flat-woven rugs quite unlike the knotted piles typical of most Middle Eastern countries, and for its unique Berber tribal patterns. Although the kilim style didn't immediately appeal to me, as I sat and watched the demonstration I fell in love and determined I could no longer live without having one. No, not one, I loved them all and wanted a whole bunch. Well, now ...

... but I had worked out with the hotel staff the previous night for a tour from an 'unofficial' guide, which I felt atleast afforded me some safety, especially since fes was SO much more scary and dangerous than Chefchaouen. The guide from the hotel, who was recommended by the guide from the tour that I had joined, walked me around for about 2 hours, taking me to see the mosques, explaining the horns that are blown about 5 times a day as being prayer calls, in ...
