cooling down in ifrane

it was so hot one night in fes, that i couldn't get a wink of sleep, and i was being attacked by mosquitos all night. frustrated, i got up to watch tv around 5am- nothing was going to get me back to sleep. so instead, I decided to embrace this opportunity to go out and get some fresh b'sara soup at 7am, and then race over to the Merenid Tombs for the sunrise. it was a great idea and so much fun. the medina was totally empty, the alleys were silent, the birds were chirping, and the air was still cool.

So how was i going to stay cool for the rest of the day? take a day trip to ifrane. the adorable swiss ski town about an hour south of fes. I took a grand taxi and spent the afternoon there. it felt so much cooler and it's so quiet and peaceful there. I had lunch and walked through the town, snapping pictures along the way.
