Class Trip To Fayoum

bernie_postI was lucky enough to get invited on a class trip with the Grade 11 Social Studies class. Ms. Kelly, 14 students and I trekked out to Fayoum to visit an eco-lodge there. 3hrs outside of Cairo, Fayoum and Tunis border the Kharoun lake. A salt lake, infected with years of inbound over nitrated farm water.  The eco-lodge, founded by artists, poets, and novelists in the 60′s screams hippie commune revitalized into marketable lodgings to eccentrics and born again “go-greens”. The students had a great time speaking with local fisherman, farmers and a pottery artisan. One of the students was nice of enough to snap a few pics of the this guys mug, here attached below.

  1. Looks Like Something From Ghost LOL

  2. As soon as the kid sat down, and the artisan came up behind her to show her how to use the wheel and clay, I leaned over to the other teacher and whispered “she is about to get swayz-ied”.
