Volubilis, Fes, Meknes

This weekend we visited three awesome historic cities in central Morocco. Since we were inland quite a ways the weather was very hot, something like Palm Springs only with a harsh African sun. I drank a ton of water (but maybe still not enough since I got a bit sick?) and lots of sunscreen to stay alive. I ended up taking a lot of good pictures so there will be more this week, but I thought I'd start with a particularly nice one of an old bab (gate/door) in Meknes.


I also really liked the tomb of Moulay Isma'il but all those pictures are on my friend's camera because I didn't have mine at the time. Hopefully I'll be able to post at least one of those soon. Here's a picture of the outer courtyards of the tomb, which I really like because of the shadows:

 
That's all I've got for now -- back to work!
