Fez at Night
A bus ride along modern Mohammed VI Avenue in Villa Nouvelle (New Fez) to Fes el–Jedid (13th–century Fez). The male voice is that of Rachid, our tour guide. He had already answered the question of the male–only cafes several days ago when I had asked him about it. A long video––over 5 minutes.

Berber Ahouach Dancers in Fez
Berber Ahouach Dancers at the Al Fassia restaurant, Fez, Morocco. The ahouach is a kind of musical poetry of the High Atlas Berbers. The round tamborine–like instrument that is being banged upon is called a bendir and is made from goat skin. The dancer on the right is using a taarija. The ahouach gets more lively as it progresses.

Moroccan Macaques-1
Most of the macaques in Morocco live in the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas Mountains, where we were. They came out from the forest to greet us––actually to get a handout. Rachid brought bread, which was a much better idea than the salted cashew nuts I started throwing them. Too big of a treat. I threw some to one macaques and then to another and started taking some photos. The first monkey was not pleased and ran toward me and grabbed my leg. I screamed and all the nuts spilled onto the ground. The monkey got what he wanted.
