Slime or Crime

The Beach by the Suez Canal

Easter Monday our team was asked to join a church group for the day. They told us we were going to a beach by the Suez Canal. So we hopped on a bus with about 50 people, and drove down to the beach. The only problem was when we got there we couldn't find the beach because there were sooooo many people. Easter is actually a holiday in Egypt, but not to celebrate Easter, but to celebrate the change of seasons. So anyway we squeezed ourselves in amoung all the people and had a great afternoon of interacting with the people from the church. We played a few riddle games, and then they got out their traditional food for the Easter weekend. FISH!! But not just any fish "rotten fish" at least that's what they told us it was. I tasted at tiny bit, and the fish is actually smoked and preserved, but it stinks like it's rotten. It's slimy and they eat it with cooking oil, pita bread, and lettuce. Here are some pictures of our Easter monday.

This is actually a re inactment of me eating the fish, the first picture I wasn't quite so eager to take it. I'm going to get my friend to send me the first picture and then I'll post that one.
