Luckiest Day of the Century

So, how did you celebrate the luckiest day of the century, 07/07/07? You know there won't be another triple 7 day EVER again, well at least not until next century, as Cody so sweetly pointed out. We celebrated by going to an amazing beach just north of town (we were actually going there anyway, it just happened to fall on that day :) North Africans like to congregate together at the same small stretch of beach, so it was easy to find a place to ourselves 50 yards down the beach away from everyone else. We stayed pretty isolated except for the few times when people thought that SURELY we would want some company. The waves were nice and weather was perfect.

This was also a big day b/c I picked up my first FICTION novel in as long as I can remember. I usually only read non-fiction books for information or to grow personally but I never just pleasure read (hence, the reason I usually don't enjoy it). But Cody finally convinced me to start Ender's Game. It's pretty good so far, anyone read it?

Here we are on good ol Independence Day. We went to a BBQ with some other Americans and just hung out. We lost the volleyball over the fence shortly after the photo was taken :(

I spent the night at a friend's house this week and her Aunt did some awful henna on me. From far away it looks okay but if you look closely it has some pretty creepy stuff. The palm is even worse. The front has a snake on the pointer finger with its tongue sticking out and an eye on the right hand to ward off any evil stares people may give me. (Eyes here are thought to have magical powers)

Here are a few things to notice:
1) To hearts with "K's" in them standing for Karima (me) and Kody
2) Big huge eye with eyebrow, just in case anyone is jealous of my henna it will ward off any evil eye coming my way
3) Tiny little music notes, a heart with legs, and one really large heart with "KODY"
Luckily, the ugliest stuff is on the palm where it lasts FOREVER!!!! :)
