Rabat/Fez/Volubilis/Moulay Adris

The main street in Rabat (the capital of Morocco)
The medina in Fez.  This medina is humongous!  By the way medina literally means city, but what a medina really means is a marketplace.
Me with something the Saharan's wear.  I felt like Bear Grylls off Man vs. Wild minus the Wild.  This was in the medina in Fez
A Roman city from a long long time ago-Volubilis (sp?).  The pictures don't do a good service to what it really is...I promise I took this picture and didn't steal it from Wikipedia.  Weird!
This is Moulay Idris.  Moulay is the grandson of Mohammed (the prophed of Islam). He is the person who brought Islam to Morocco and this is city named after him.  Just for the record...we climbed the highest hill.  You can't really see it...but it was 2 hours of nothing but stairs and sun.  I'm such a lazy person...
