Vomitoriums and Pilgrimages

---

In my haste to get off the last blog, I forgot to add some photos of Volubilis (best preserved Roman ruins in Morocco), and Moulay Idriss (the founder of Islam in Morocco; and the country's most important pilgrimage site, after Mecca). So here they are.

We travelled there by grand taxi, which is an old Merc sedan with 2 people plus driver in the front, and 4 people in the back. They don't go until they are full or unless you pay for the whole taxi. So you could be waiting ages. This is the only means of transport in Morocco outside the train system.

Romans were the first bulimics. In order to continue gorging, they used this facility. Gerry kindly showing how it's done.
