Fez Jan 6 Donkeys and Cats and the Narrowest Street

Lot’s of Donkeys and Cats and the Narrowest Street ever!


Hello everyone!

Today we were in Fez. We woke up at 7:30 and had breakfast. At 9:00 our driver and our tour guide picked us up from our hotel and we went to the palace. We couldn’t go into it though… that was not good. Then we went to see the panoramic view of the medina which is the walled part of Fez. You need to know about the animals, the medina is not for cars the only vehicles are donkeys and bikes. There are a lot of cats there to. We aw some cats by the meat shops there they looked like this: The medina has 9,600 streets and if our guide hadn’t been there we would have gotten lost! We drove down to the medina and the first thing we did was go to a school, it was very beautiful and there was lots of cats there. After that we went to the local bakery. The people who work there know exactly where each tray of bread has to go! The bread was very good. Then we went to a collage type place. You had to memorize a really long poem ( The Koran) and lots of other stuff to be accepted into it! After that we went to the tannery which is where they make leather. It’s the third hardest jobs in the world! (I forgot the other two.) We went to a really yummy restaurant for lunch. It was extremely good. We also saw the tiniest street in the world! It looked like this:
Isn’t it narrow?!
Then we went to a pottery place and we got to see all the steps of making pottery and mosaics. That was really cool.




Bye!!!
Emily

After a long silence I again want to say hello to you as you are travelling unto another continent. Hopefully you will enjoy this as you have the rest of the adventure.

Will try and connect with Jennifer and get a first hand report on the trip.

enough for now. It is almost time to go to bed on a Friday evening (11:22 p.m.).

Enjoy the days wherever you are.

Love to all, aunt Lottie in Winnipeg where it is about -20C something, but the forcast is for a bit milder weather -- like around -15C or so.
