Fes- By Elise

Our parents surprised us by meeting up with our aunt and uncle. At dinner they surprised us by putting the menus in front of their faces and hiding. We all got confused until they took the menus off of their faces and it all made sense. We arrived in Fes and it was super busy. We got to our hotel (all the people in Fes call hotels Riad) and we accidentally interrupted the person who works there. He was doing his prayer. By the way it was Ramadan which is when you can’t eat until 7 to 8 o’clock pm! Ramadan goes on for a month! I would not survive not eating for a day! There were lots and lots of cats in Fes and lots of meat hanging from the walls. It was really disturbing! The markets were crouded and on Fridays and during their prayer they were silent and not even half as many people as the day we arrived. The tanneries are where you take the skin and fur off of goats and sheeps and make jackets, purses, and bean bags. They call bean bags “poofs”. The tanneries do not smell good- Do Not Go To The Tanneries! It was my birthday there it was the best birthday I’ve ever had with my family! I REALLY LIKE FES!!!
