Today is Thursday, which means it's payday! Well, not for me. I'm unpaid slave labor. But for the 70 guys who spend their days hauling buckets full of dirt away, it was time for the pay.
That's Nadine in pink, Lindsey in blue, and Ahmed (my buddy who tries to teach me Arabic, but has really bad English) right above the column in the green with the yellow scarf.
Tonight we're having a dance party, then tomorrow is our day off (and my skype date with my hubby).
- Slave laborer and payday photographer
PS. I forgot to tell you that Tuesday night we had dinner with the 12 guys that live with us that we brought from Luxor. Our reis chooses them (usually based on family relations) and they do the more specialist things, while the locals do most of the heavy lifting and other tasks they can't screw up. It was a huge feast and a lot of fun. One of the guys even did impressions of several of the other guys.
