Here are some pictures of the Nile river and my roommates. The CASA program took us out one night on a faluka. I really love this program. The teachers actually make us learn and they can clearly explain certain Arabic grammar rules and Arabic phrases without having to resort to speaking English. The program also takes care of the students. We don't have classes on Sundays but there are programs we have to attend. For example, an Egyptian judge gave a lecture (in Arabic:)) about Egyptian law and then we had a faluka ride afterward. This Sunday we will all watch an Arabic movie together and then discuss the movie. The program also paid for all of our books and occasionally buy us lunch. I absolutely love it:)
Well enjoy the pictures, and hopefully I will have more stories later!
oh by the way....I was the only American in the cafe when America beat Egypt 3-0 in a soccer game. Talk about awkward silence!! hehehe. What can I say?
