Just Arrived in Fes!

Our few days in Spain were fantastic. Malaga and Ceuta are both vibrant, laid-back, friendly cities. Lush and tropical too. And we did reasonbly well with our rusty Spanish.

Crossing the border from Ceuta, Spain, into Morocco was a bit intimidating. Actually, the border crossing itself was fairly well organized...but the view immediately after crossing over felt somewhat chaotic...which I guess is typical for most any border. LOTS of people and cars. But we managed our way through it and got a taxi to Tangier.

We were only in Tangier an hour or so before we hopped on a bus to Fes. And in that time, we met a fluent English speaker who offered to lead us to tea and took us to a traditional Moroccan clothing store. We left empty handed, but it was fun to look. Reminded us of our days in Turkey and being led to the carpet shop with the offer of apple tea.

And now we are in Fes - a bustling city with a mix of modern and traditional. We have only been here a night, so still have much to see. Now, off to explore!
