Grand Taxis and Fes

We made our way from Asrou to Fes–one of the ancient imperial cities of Morocco.  We traveled in grand taxis which are 4-door Volvos everywhere you go in Morocco.  There were five of us in each taxi plus our driver and our luggage–needless to say, a tight fit for an hour and a half drive.  And all the while we were chugging the diesel fumes from the car in front of us. 

Our main visit was to the medina which dates to the 9th century and the reign of Moulay Idriss II.  Our group shopped, shopped and shopped some more.  (I’ll take whatever hits I come in response the the following comments).  Traveling with nine women in a place designed to entice people to buy exotic things becomes exhausting.  Our first priority everywhere seems to involve shopping.  There, I’ve said it.

Signing off for now as I’m tired of hunting and pecking on a French keyboard.
