I woke up in my own bed yesterday to the sound of a Philly garbage truck, and in my haze, I thought the sanitation workers were shouting in Arabic. I’d been in Fes, Morocco for only a week, yet my consciousness was pretty well altered.
I’ve finally got it together enough to provide photo-album links on Shutterfly, not only of my Morocco trip, but also my February journey to Senegal and the 2006 Turkey-Kurdistan odyssey as well.
This photo is of a synagogue facade in the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter in Fes Jdid, or New Fes — “new” being the 13th century as opposed to the ninth. I believe the lettering reads Beit Hachayim, or house of life.
