Snakes, gates, ruins and a party! Aka volubilis, meknes, and a party

We left chefchouen after breakfast for the ancient Roman city of Volubulis.  I will save you all from my architecture lecture.  I don't want to "ruin" your day...just a few pictures of this well preserved city.  rich and Barbara REALLY liked it!

From there we traveled to the imperial city of meknes, where we had a bad lunch in a cool room.  (We aren't doing to well with our lunches so far.)

This city was built up in the 16th century by a very despotic ruler whose name escapes me at the moment.  Bad dude, killed a lot of people.  Oh well, I better not become a tour guide.  If you really need to know I will look it up.  At any rate, we visited his tomb.

As well a a jail and a beautiful gate that he created.

From there we took a stroll through the medina (souk) and mellah (Jewish quarter) where some of our group got involved with a baby shower!  Somehow ululating women make for a happy day!

Snake charmers in the square

This one is for you dad... It dices, it slices it chops and it grinds!

Ulululululilililililqlulululululilililulilulilulilulilulil!

We are now traveling into Fes where we will be for the next few nights.

Until next time!
