Hammum
Forgot to tell you the best part! Last night we finally got to take a bath after 5 days without one! We were not a pleasant smelling group as Im sure you can imagine. Here in N. Africa they only take baths 1 time a week. They go to a public bath house and scrub down with olive soap and any exfoliating mitt. Out hosts in the mnts. Had a private hammum (bath) for us to use. You sit in a sauna like room that is heated from a fire under the floor. You get buckets of cold and hot water to mix and literally pour buckets on yourself! Really neat experience but definitely no room for modesty here! Its truly interesting how people cover up so much in public but then go bathe together! HaHa! We are going to try a public hammum on Saturday!
