Morocco, Day 3: Fes

Stayed at a "hotel" we found through a group called "Ziyarates", which means "visits" in Arabic. We found this through Lonely Planet.  This is a mix between a home stay and a hotel.  The Ziyarates organization helps families turn their homes into a source of income.  We randomly chose the Family Korriche based on the online photos, and couldn't be happier.  The location was great, just outside Bab Bou Jeloud.  The daughter, Manal, spoke the best English and so we interacted with her the most.  We ate dinner there on our first night and it was delicious (and we got lucky and they had couscous, even though it was not Friday).  The portions were huge: we couldn't believe they normally ate this much (we swore they were giving us larger "American" sized portions).
