Here are some pictures from my adventures here in Fes, Morocco:
The Tannery in Fes draws crowds all day to watch workers soften, treat, and dye leather as they have been doing for centuries. They used to use natural dyes, but more recently have switched to harmful and perhaps toxic chemicals. Some men wade waste-deep in the vats without proper protection and I wonder about their health. Also, it smells pretty horrible. The leather is soaked in pigeon dung to soften it. It just smells like dead animals. I recommend bringing some mint to smell during the tour!
Don't fall in!
The ruins on the hill that sits above the medina.
The view of Fes from the ruins.
The gardens in Dar Bat Ha, Fes
The reflection of Madrasa Ben Inounia in its ablutions pool
All for now!
Love,
Michelle
