Are you a Berber?

I took a train from Asilah to Fes and I end up meeting a man on the train who owned one of the two tanneries in Fes. I wanted to stay at a hostel, but he recommended I stay

at a guesthouse. BEST DECISION EVER. I stayed in a traditional Moroccan house that is hundreds of years old in the medina.

I walk up the stairs and enter into the great hall. Really high ceilings! UUhhMAZING!

I highly recommend you stay at:

Dar el Ouedghiri

49, Oude Souafine, Akibt Sbaa, Douh, Fez Medina

I ate some delicious Moroccan food. A savory chicken pastry!Some of the best food in Fes is made out of her kitchen.

That's the doorway into my room. Beautiful, right?

From there, one of the tannery workers picked me up from the guesthouse and wandered in the 40,000 plus streets of Fes.

Crazy, right?! I definitely would have gotten loswithout Touhammi. Well, my bodyguard really. yehahaha

I love getting lost in there.

To the left is a photo of Ahmed who I met on the train. He really took care of me and showed me around Fes (well, got Touhammi to do it).

Ahmed says I bring him luck. A bunch of Japanese came right after me and bought a bunch of goodies.

I left with a customized leather jacket, sandals, wallets, keychains, and a chair. Ya, I may have gotten overboard a bit.

That's a view from above the tannery. Cool!

And of course I had to look at some rugs! So beautiful! Gosh, everything is beautiful in Morocco.

Alas, my time in Morocco had to come to an end and I had to go back to Spain. Woe is me...yehahaha. Next stop, Seville!

And about the title of the post "Are you a Berber?" I got asked that so many times! I guess Berbers really know how to bargain. Plus, I guess I kind of look like a Berber. I didn't believe it until they showed me photos of famous Berber singers. Funny!
