E CARD 1

Dear All

This is postcard 1, second attempt. It just crashed. We are in Fes. It is Tues. All is well. It is warm.

The group is 10 plus Majad; our leader. There are 6 female to 4 males. 6 Brits to 2 Canadians and 1 US and 1 Aussie citizen. Casablaca seems ages ago. Rabat the capital was impressive. We went to the Roman town of Volubilis yesterday. What a spot to choose.It is nearly all ruined now but the storks were nesting on top of the Corinthian columns and the lizards aere at home among the mosaic floors.We went on to Moulay Idris. We have our own minibus for the rest of the holiday now. MI is a place of pilgrimage for the local muslims.MI brought Islam to Morocco so is revered as a saint. 3 trips to MI in your lifetime = 1 trip to Mecca apparently for Hajj. It was a pretty place with narrow streets.

We are off on a walking tour of Fes shortly. I will send again tonight.

Lots of love

Ruth and Peter
