A few more had a rough night so elected to stay in the magnificent Riad Fès to recover while the rest of us set off for the Glaoui Palace – yes, our old friend the Pasha from Telouet.  He was obviously a very wealthy man.

His Fès digs were in this amazing place only a 10 minute walk from our hotel, where we’d arranged with the family (Glaoui descendants), who still live there, to spend several hours painting.

It was a memorable experience for our art group.  Abdul, the English speaking family chief, is an accomplished artist in his own right and involved his family, including the kids, in Ev’s demo class.

Meanwhile, we non-painters, minus Megan and George (under the weather), set off with Ahmed our guide for a tour of Fès – the royal palace, the Jewish quarter and a pottery, where many of us contributed to the Moroccan economy.

Tonight we are heading to a French restaurant for dinner after a relaxing afternoon on the top terrace of the Riad Fès.

Since the wifi here is so quick, I’m taking the opportunity to update the more recent posts covering Day Four onwards to Fès, populating the posts with some pics.  Check them out if you’d like.
