Africa- Day 6

WARNING: I will be referring to our trip as a trip to Epiphany. Just know that Epiphany is in northern Africa. I will not be using our friends full names, just J, R, K, and G or the Gs for the family. I will turn on comment moderation for several months just to make sure we don't accidentally say something that we shouldn't say! Please feel free to leave comments, but I will approve them before they show on the site. If you have any questions about our trip that I can't answer publicly just let me know. We are happy to share details, just not in a way that could jeopardize our friend's new life in Epiphany. Thanks for understanding!

WOW- it's been too long. I'm going to do my best to finish my Africa blogs! Day 6 started with a trip to the hotel's pool. Which was freezing! So the kids did not enjoy it too much. They tried to be adventurous, but it didn't work out so well.

K and Amelia convincing themselves to get in the pool!



G looking super cute in her new suit.



Trying to enjoy the pool. It really is beautiful!



We went to lunch and the kids had pizza- which was amazing (yes I snuck a few bites). And then R and I became obsessed with Olive Wood. It's beautiful, great smelling, wood pieces made into bowls, spoons, tongs, etc. We braved the nasty weather to shop for a few items and I loved watching R barter with the shop owners- she's very good!

Then we headed back to the hotel for naps. After naptime we convinced the hotel to fill up the Hamam with hot water (think giant bathtub) so the kids could play in the water for awhile. It was still really foggy and cold outside so we were lacking things for the kiddos to do. K and Amelia enjoyed the giant bath, G did her best, but was not that into it. R couldn't handle being in the Hamam because they had turned on the steam and it was WAY too hot for a pregnant lady :) J spent the afternoon in bed with a fever- poor guy.

Still Foggy and Cold outside!



Not sure how, but we made it to dinner and bedtime. Another good nights sleep!
