... mixed fruit juice) and we went for lunch: the much-hyped camel burgers. We went into this hole-in-the-wall place that was too small for seven people to fit in. And there we had our camel burgers! They were really quite tasty, and they had tons of spices in them so I really couldn't distinguish it from beef.<br><br>Then we took a bus to Volubilis - Roman ruins. Oh, how I love Roman ruins. They were amazing, surrounded by vast rolling hills ...

... America's independence. (Yes, there will be a pop quiz on this later. :) The cool thing about this old consulate, which is now a museum, is that it contained both a resource library and a small library available to the public. It was started by the Peace Corps in 1992. This library is open to the public only on Saturdays and Sundays, because classes are held there during the week for Muslim women ...

... main square, so after a brief stop at one of the sweet vendors, we sat at a cafe, with a cup of mint tea, and people watched as the drizzle continued to fall from the sky.   A late lunch took us back to the same sandwich stall as the night before, but we came in prepared and managed to get our egg and potato sandwiches without the pushy restaurant tout trying to sell us mystery meat kebabs.  With the rain picking up we spent our evening in the ...

Now is the beginning of Ramadan, the holiest month of the Islamic year. During this month, Muslims are required to fast from sunrise to sunset, allowing nothing to pass their lips during this time. This includes food, water, and even cigarettes. Days are long and hot this time of year, so keeping the fast is a challenge for everyone. Most people do alright until the late afternoon, when heat, thirst, and lack of caffeine and nicotine ...

... The bus stop was at a market place and it was fascinating! A tagine food shop, fruit stalls and snack shops. The place where we set up camp was a food shop - it had half a carcass hanging up in it -- if the cook had to cook something he would just get his knife and carve away a slab of meat and cook it (and smoke us out at the same time!)...it was really entertaining. Our bus arrived at 10am but apparently had ...

... a Lonely Planet walking tour of the souqs which began and ended in Place el-Hadim and took us through a number of babs (gates) in and out of the old city. We meandered through narrow thoroughfares deep in the Medina where only the locals shopped and ate ...

... worked on the construction, and most perished. However, an earthquake in 1755 destroyed part of the city and destroyed the dream. It was then on to view the Royal Granary and stables. The stables, although not well preserved are a must see. Built to keep 12,000 horses, the roof was lost in the earthquake in 18th century. We also visited the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, albeit the outer room, as tourists were not allowed to enter any further. It was only ...

This whole travelling around thin is getting was to easy for me. We decided to take a train for the first time in Africa to compare them to the ones in Europe. I guess I can safely say now that a train is still a train no matter what continent you are on. They are the same quality of trains as some parts of Europe and actually are probablt more comfortable then the shakey Greek train that we took. The huge difference is how packed they were. We could ...

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 ...
