The color of Fes is blue!

After some crazy crazy driving around Fes (one of the four Imperial cities of Morocco), we found a hotel and decided to get a tour guide for the following day. His name was Amit although Dan refused to accept that and called him Mohammed all the time (he thinks Amit might be short for Mohammed). Anyway, we might not know his name well but he taught his one very important fact and reminded us about every five minutes all day: the color of Fes is blue! We think he thought we were stupid, and we wished there was a quiz at the end. Sometimes he would point to ceramic wall that was obviously not blue and would point to a small tile that was blue -- explaining that it was blue since that is the color of Fes! We had an amazing lunch which was pretty expensive but we could hardly walk afterwards so it was a victory.

Nachi fell in love with a Berber pharmacy even though (or because?) the shady pharmacist destroys your nasal passages with cloves ("it will cure the headache in your head, the headache in your stomach.."). On a roll that day, Nachi also gave a weaving girl a hand at work. We learned that the Medina (the old Arab town, with the windy streets), which is amazing, has 180,000 shops, 9,000 alleyways and a population of 500,000 people. One of the funnier things was the massive overuse of pointing to empty spots in parking lots, a big offender here being a parking assistant at the hotel. Two days in Fes were rounded off with a visit to a dodgy bar.
