MAD or money in hand, I am ready for my immersion into the medina of Fes. What a truly beautiful and amazing place! Everywhere I turn, I see something new and curious and want to spend time really absorbing what I was seeing, from people simply going through the everyday motions of life, to artisans practicing their craft, to the shopkeepers in constant motion welcoming visitors and negotiating prices.

The cab driver and his friend, who I found and hired upon my arrival at the Fes train station were friendly and fun.

Kat’s Morocco – Third in a continuing series…
A snowstorm of historic proportions had closed New York to all incoming and outgoing flights, including my flight from Los Angeles to Morocco, via JFK. After spending Friday night on the floor of the Atlanta airport and running around to the various terminals begging to get on a flight to New York, luck was with me and I was soon on my way to LGA. I might just make my Saturday connection to Morocco! I did have a passing thought about where m...
