The beach and tajine…

We went to the beach today with some friends.  I have never been to the beach so many times in my life in such a short time!  When our friends got out of the taxi and opened the truck, inside was seriously the entire kitchen.  They made us tea and fish tajine on the beach.  They brought a gas burner and all!  Even though the fish was still looking at us from the serving platter, once you got around the eyeballs, bones, and scales, it was really good!

English classes…

English classes are over on Monday.  I have really enjoyed teaching the class that I share with Jaime.  We have 8-11 students each night and have lots of interesting stories.  Each night, we have been asking discussion questions.  Here is one of the questions and some funny answers we got…

If you were stranded on a desert island, what would you take with you?

  • I would take a woman, a radio, and a washing machine.  (Well this one created an awkward moment!)
  • I would take a hat, boots and a tea pot.  (hmm…all vocab words…nice)
  • I would take gas stove, fishing pole, and watch. (He’d be the most likely out of all the answers to survive.  I’m not sure about the watch though.)
  • Everywhere you are, you will find an object and the tools attached to this object.  So in my opinion, you will not need any tool in the island.  Finally I would take three friends with me, but three good friends, experienced in many domains.  (Where did he learn all these big words??)

  1. I would take coffee, a bag full of books and some wheat thins.
