hello from fez


hello all, i have had a problem finding a computer that allowed blog spot to run

we are nopw in fez, and we love it here

we arived at 3:00 am by buss, got into a taxi, and were told that the driver did not know the street where out apartment was!

after driving for an hour we settled on a little hotel, that was cheap

the other dawy we found out appartment, we had been in the hotel for three days

let me put it this way
if you get in to a car, and you drive,, and drive further, and a little further than that, you will run in to our appartment. so we stayed in our hotel, wich is right down town, with cool stors nearby, and the medina about a 10 minute walk

this is the medina, whish is a crazy warren of streets, each full of buisinesses, its too steep and narrow for cars, nope they use horses. the medina itself is proably abolut 3 km long, 2 wide, and crazy

in the center are the leatherpits where they hand make leather i bought a camel leather belt. it smells like rotting animals, it looks like hell, and its work for some people
the medina is crazy, unpridictable, with camel heads marking butchers, and pretty much evry other person being a saleman

so far i have bought a traditional arab dager, you know, the ones the tuck into their belts, a lamp, about six pirated movies, my bro got a fez, a lamp made with hide!

tomorrow is the fest du mutton, AKA the festival where they all go buy a live sheep, and then slaugter it in their houses, its somthing akin to christmas
HOHOHO!!
