Fes Morocco, Sheep Heads, Goat Balls and Pigeon Poo

Got this little bit of Fes, Morocco info from the web, cameras at the ready. This is the underworld of Fes. This is where time chose to stop and rest about two hundred years ago, and never quite got going again. Entering the medina is like taking a huge breath and going underwater, to experience total bombardment of your senses -- to feel life in its most frenetic form. It is quite literally almost stomach-churning in its excitement, as sheep heads and goat balls flash past you, and as the excruciating stench of pigeon poo and sulphuric acid hits your nostrils from the tanneries. Almost ten thousand alley-ways form this walled rabbit warren, so you will need to keep coming up for air.
