Last weekend, we had the pleasure to meet two high school friends in Fez. Our friend is in France teaching English for the year and surprised his girlfriend with a trip to Morocco to travel and visit with us. Of course, we were overjoyed. Fez was a perfect place for their journey to start. We spent the weekend exploring the winding streets of the old city and sipping mint tea on carpet-covered rooftops while catching up.
Here are a few photos from our weekend.

Upon entering, we were each given a sprig of mint to place underneath our noses to combat the strong smell of the leather making process

All in all, a wonderful weekend.
