We finally left rabat on the 8th dec and ...
... call to prayer was so noisy it was unbelievable. All in all we found Casablanca to be fairly unremarkable. As the largest city in Morocco it was modern (at least by Moroccan standards) and didn't have much of an atmosphere to the place. We did the ...
A Day with Thami and a Lesson in Negotiating

... home for the next three days, had provided very explicit directions upon arrival. My sport of haggling was not applicable here in Fes; the taxis actually run the meters. The driver dropped us off at the fountain near Hotel Bahta as directed. Richard used ...
A Cooking Class in Fes
If you recall I compared cooking is for Lowell as porn is for most men. To fulfill this need we organized a cooking class for today. We awoke at 8:00AM to a delicious breakfast of fresh OJ, pancake/crepe with honey, muesli and fresh bottled yogurt. ...
Fes
Fes was an extraordinary place to lost amongst the hillside bazaars, workshops, restaurants, mosques, markets, schools and dye pits inside the medina of Fez El Bali that acts as a giant labyrinth. At first we were content at making our way cautiously ...

Suffocating
