Text Appearing Before Image: EZ III FEZ ELBALI The distances in Fez are so great and the streetsso narrow, and in some quarters so crowded, thatall but saints or humble folk go about on mule-back. In the afternoon, accordingly, the pink mulescame again, and we set out for the long tunnel-likestreet that leads down the hill to the Fez Elbali.
