Young learners A (7-10 yrs. old) & B (11-14).I taught group A twice and B once. They were simply hilarious, extremely competitive (especially the girls), and very bright. Just a joy!
Nevien - our fearless leader and TEFL teacher whose job it is to crack the whip and make our lives miserable for 4 weeks (just kidding).
Magda (left) and Samah (below) - our 2 local Alexandria Egyptians who provided us with a taste of some wonderful Egyptian desserts: Magda with a delicious chocolate cake with chocolate glaze; Samah with om aly (a custard like dessert with raisins, nuts, milk and butter). See the story below........
The story of om aly: an Egyptian queen "Shajarat Aldor", got married to an Egyptian prince who was already married. When the queen found out that her citizens started to love him more than her, she decided to kill him. His first wife promised to kill the queen, and after she killed the queen, she cooked om aly and served all the citizens.
Samah also made us Alexandrian liver sandwiches one morning as you can see below because she wanted me to know that liver fajita I had at Momen was not the typical delicious liver dish that many Egyptians are capable of making.

thanks Nevien! I will remember your kindness and direction always. Thanks so very much for all your help!
It looks like you are still enjoying the adventure and making lots of wonderful new aquaintances. The desserts sound wonderful... how come our desserts at home don't have exotic stories to go with them. Do you think there is some story of royal infidelity behind our famous green jellow with fruit in it topped with cool whip?
Jim, if there is no story behind the lime green yellow concoction, I think you should make one up!
