... see if there are ways we can collaborate on some things. Tres bien!! The orphanage we visited was also very nice, as the local Rotary group in Tangier provides a lot of funding toward the upkeep. Everything was very clean and neat, and we could tell the children were well cared for, even though our hearts were breaking a little at the sight of them. All for now....will write more as time and subjects ...

Day 3 Although it was only established as the capital in 1912 by the French, Rabat's history stretches back to a settlement in 8BC at what is now the Chellah area. Once a prosperous Roman town and transformed by the Merinids into a cemetery, the Chellah is a fascinating place to visit. Later we drive on to Meknes, once the heart of the Moroccan Sultanate. 'The Sultan loved Meknes, and ...

We woke up and left Fes early in order to drive to Meknes, another imperial capital (this time in the 1600s and 1700s). Our stop here was rather short, only a layover in between Fes and Rabat. It was a smaller but nice city, with another famous gate, Bab Mansour El Aleuj, which was once the entryway to the city. The city ...

... troubles so we couldn't hop on it for a little bit. Just before 11 we boarded and managed to get seats. Before we took off though we had to sit through the infomercials. 2 men got on board and started selling this 'miracle cream' called Rex - it was hilarious! The next ad was for another cream - we got to smell it and it was exactly like Vicks. Next a local man got on and sang us a song (if you wanted to give him ...

... talked and lived. We saw what happens with the leftovers from restaurant diners -- when our discards become the primary source of sustenance for others. For lunch we returned to a terrace restaurant snuggled into an inside corner of Place el-Hamid ...

... couples took it in turn to mate, then settle back in the nest and the next couple would then begin. We watched this spectacle for a while and then carried on walking around the site, splitting up because it was the sort of place where you just wanted to reflect in silence. I wandered around the remains of the Roman Baths, into the sanctuary which consisted of two buildings from the 13th century: the Mosque of Abu Youssef and the Zawiyva of Abu al-Hassan and ...

... panorama photo. I suspect they may fear the camera as a soul-stealing "evil eye", a traditional belief that prevails in many parts of the Mediterranean world. Although the belief is not Islamic in origin, in Morocco and other modern countries "The Evil Eye" is warded off by the Hand of Fatima, small metal hands which represent protection by Mohammed's daughter Fatima and adorn everything from houses to automobiles to horse-drawn carts to necklaces and other jewelry.

Our arrival in Tangiers yesterday was on Friday, their holy day, so everything was a bit quiet. Today we had breakfast at our hotel before Abdul and our driver arrived. We drove to Fes and will be spending the night here. Along the way we passed a typical open air market they have once a week. If a family does not own a donkey they hire one as a taxi to take them and their goods to and from the ...
