Hotel Sofia Fes

... Amazing sights and smells - meat hanging in doorways, animal heads, legs etc, snails (in baskets, bags and even climbing the walls), homemade pizza like bread (which we watched them make - the dough was draped over a piece of marble shaped like a balloon with a fire under it, then tomato, onion and cheese(?) added, folded and rolled into a pizza shape, it was delicious). We had to side step mud, donkey droppings and dies running down a ...

... his way amongst the maze of streets.  Due to it being a Friday, an Islamic holy day, the majority of the shops were closed, making the tour delightfully quiet and laid back.   We were taken the Kairaouine mosque (site of the worlds oldest university), and although not open to non-Muslims, we could peek in the doorway to view the splendor inside.  We did manage to discover why the mosques in Morocco aren't open to foreigners.  Apparently it was ...

... brought us to the present moment. The palava of the mission to get out there faded and we started to feel a taste of the freedom these camel men find out there. The environment in the Sahara is such a contrast to the Amazon jungle where we recently were yet the people who are living closer to their natural state in both locations have a certain similarity of spirit. They are happy here. Our guides decided they were not doing the Ramadan fast and chose to eat, drink water ...

... free, but visiting the other rooms costs money! We called him on the ********, pointed out that he had also made some commission from a small item we bought in the store, took our leave, and then left the overpriced restaurant without spending a cent.

The doors are all made of titanium because it is enduring, and other than the plaster columns which came from Italy, the titanium is the only other material not from Morocco, it was ...

... which lack bold signage. We were staying at Dar Seffarine,
a traditional Moroccan riad (a house or palace whose rooms all open to
a central atrium or garden) which was snuggly tucked into the center of
the city. A young boy, around 13 years of age, emerged from the

an offer to take us to our riad (at no charge). We were reluctant to

... or only) prostitutes, but my only contact with them resulted in being asked if Id buy her a drink. As I was too cheap to even buy drinks for myself, I had no hesitation in refusing, and that was that!! The call to prayer over the loudspeakers at around 4am just after Id returned to the hotel and started falling asleep was a nice little touch! Luckily it doesnt annoy me like it does some other tourists. So, as for Fez, I really ...
