Got into Casablanca about two hours late after an unsheduled stop to "take on more fuel"(???) and headed staight on to Rabat as soon as we landed. Overnighted in a R
riad (converted courtyard home in the medina, the old walled part of town) and saw the few sights (some roman and merenid ruins now mostly colonized by nesing storks, and a surprisingly beautiful tomb of the current King's grandfather) before quickly heading to Fes. he first pic is of a small fountain by the tomb. The riad we are in here, Riad Fes, is really spectacular (pic). Explored and got lost in the medina here this morning (discovered that the tanneries (pic) use pigeon shit to soften leather - not all that compelling a sales fact). We had lunch with a guy we met on the tain yesterday and his family at a delicious bbq place we would never have found otherwise where you select your meat from the butchers freshly killed carcasses and have the guys grill it up to order.
