We are up this morning but unfortunately no hot water in our apt. So we are back to roughing it! Today is our last full here and we've got lots to squeeze in. The girls are going to a nice b'fast together. The boys went yesterday. Then we have our 2nd history class. I'll be sure to follow up with what we discuss about the Fitna film. After that free time to go shopping, go to the beach or go to the public hammum. Im hoping to do all 3!
Recap from last night: we all met at Anna's apt and made our own version of American pizzas using North African ingredients. We loaded them on huge trays and took them to the public bakery where there is a community wood burning brick oven. We waited a few minutes while our pizzas cooked and then took them home on the same trays for a pizza party with 3 of Anna's North African friends. They were Karim (26 year old guy who is one of 11 children), Fatima (25 year old girl getting her MBA) and Soued (26 year old girl also getting her MBA). They were all very sweet and spoke excellent English. John had a good conversation about Christianity and Islam with Karim and everyone else had fun hanging out and laughing.
