		Photographer: Dave Date Taken: 3/31/03 Location: Looking over Fes Description: Really the only thing that has changed in the Medina is the addition of satelite dishes on most of the rooftops.

		Photographer: Dave Date Taken: 3/31/03 Location: Fes Description: Fancy tile and glasswork in an old home. The cost of restoration on a building like this must be astronomical - so alas it sits vacant.
