Hi All! It has been a busy month here! I have had visitors from all over the world! It was great to visit with friends and it is always fun to get to see the country through new eyes! here are some pictures from my last few weeks. I am still not sure what to blog about so if you have any ideas, please send them to me!!
I love camels!

I spent one Friday at an old kasbah about 3 hours from where I live. it was a summer house built by one of the kings who lived in the 12th century. We had a great day of exploring ruins and playing games on the walls. The kids really loved shooting their bows and arrows from the top of the wall...some of the adults had fun with that too :)

Some friends and I got together for peep jousting! More or less, you put tooth picks into peeps and then put the peeps in the microwave. As they grow, they jab each other with the tooth picks. The first one to be popped loses! (yes, I was the only person over the age of 13 actuall participating in the jousting)
the aftermath!
