One of the joys of living in the Fes Medina is the pleasure derived from the little things. Not the fabulous architecture, not the mosques and arches, the tile-work or the fountains, but the streetscape that changes on a daily and sometimes hourly basis.
For an hour today I sat with a coffee in one of my favourite places - the Place Seffarine - and took it all in.
Just as exotic - some of these treats are truly strange!
Place Seffarine is THE place for anything copper. 
A hole-in-the-wall shop - literally. 
And everywhere... mint and parsley...
While I sipped my coffee and immersed myself in the scene in front of me I nearly forgot my own "rule" - always look up. When I remembered to check above me I discovered the cats...
The cats of Seffarine - high on a beam - watching the tourists.I should mention the tourists. Once again I was treated to the spectacle that always amuses the locals and that is the phenomenon known as shorts... which despite constant mentions in the tourist guidebooks - people like the French dude below, insist on wearing.

I don't know which photo I liked better: the cats perching from on high or the dork in shorts :)
Oh, cat photography! They are adorable perched up there.
When will you do a feature on the headscarves Muslim women in France insist on wearing? They're in France, not the Sahara!!!
