so as i've said before, i do this thing called "women's cafe" on saturday nights. who knew that this thing would prove to be a way for me to delve inside the brains of these women.
so a few weeks ago, things were happening as usual. dancing, eating, chit chat. you know, nothing too exciting.
then we all sit down for a little breather and two of the women go to the board and grab some chalk. they are giggling like little school girls and using their bodies to cover their artwork.
next thing i know, the room abrupts in hysterical laughter. i look at the board. "are you freaking kidding me?!" is the first thing that runs through my head.
without going into a lot of detail, lets just say that these middle aged, covered up, seemingly conservative berber women have just drawn and EXTREMELY obscene image on my chalkboard and are entirely pleased with themselves.
i laughed, but i was shocked. they then erase the first image and draw another one, this time featuring a man and some sort of dog/wolf creature. no, the man was not petting the dog.
if only i had a hidden camera and could have pictures as proof. everyday is an adventure.

Um...that's flippin hilarious. I'll never look at a covered Muslim woman the same way. I just wish I knew how to do that respectfully...
I miss you. :)

Hey Sucka!! I'm drinking on at Saturday night and thinking of you 4 billion miles away in a different culture in a different land. I can't say I understand wanting to be that far away from me, but I'm sure you'll have a couple good stories to tell your grandkiddies. Stay safe and come home soon, k?
Love,
David
