This is a traveling tribute video to one of the best songs ever recorded by Smash Mouth. I was really disappointed by the music video produced by the record company. It just ignored what the song was about in favor of dancing bikini babes. It was sad. So, while on vacation in Morocco not so long ago, I was listening to the song on my ipod and thinking how much the song resonated with the current political situation in the world. Our camel trek was organized by good friend Ali Seggaoui from Hotel Maison Merzouga village of Hassi Labiad near town of Merzouga in southern Morocco.

Walking the narrow medina streets toward the tanneries in Fes, Morocco.

This was taken in my host family's home in Fes, Morocco...just a kitchen snippet, a window on daily Fassi life.

Fes or Fez (Arabic [Fas], French Fès) is one of the four (2Casablanca,3Rabat, and 4Marrakech)so-called "imperial cities".Fez is the cultural and spiritual centre of Morocco. It was founded in 790 BC. The main attraction in this ancient city is the medieval Medina, the old part of the city, which has been continuously inhabited since the 10th century and still bustles with a bewildering throng of colourfully costumed tribal people, from olive-dealers and veiled women on their way to the baths, to industrious merchants and traditional bell-ringing water-sellers.It seems that the city of Fez is still lingering back in the Middle Ages. Fes el Bali (the old, walled city)is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
