John and Trevor in the courtyard of the riad we stayed in in Fes al-Bali. Fes al-Bali is one of the three cities that makes up Fes, has no roads for cars and is inside a wall built in the 12th century. About 700,000 people live full-time inside the walls of the bowl-shaped medina, and there are about 9,400 alley ways and streets. I joked with our tour guide that there was probably an equal number of stray cats.
