In a silly game of 6 Degrees of Separation, Ms Grosso is now only 2 degrees away from President Obama!

Fez, Morocco – City of Fairy Tales is the most recent entry.  To see more here:

A brief Except from the Blog Entry:

The sand colored city of Fez, Morocco appears to be a city out of fairy tales. The city seems like it never quiet entered the modern century much less the 21st. There are still vendors selling coal. And one butcher shop in the medina that sold Camel.

I’ve always thought that Camels were expensive and highly prized by the Arabs and seeing the camel head outside the butcher shop with the camel hoofs on the ground was certainly a shock.

I wish I spoke French or Arabic better to ask about the taste, cost and selling of camels in Arab culture.
