Not a lot going on in the house today. We got three house guests last night, Travis' coworkers. I think they will all be here for the week. The girls are sure excited to have other people in the house to talk to. And luckily, I think all the guys are having fun being entertained.

This afternoon the girls and I walked to the patisserie for some fresh bread. I ordered it all in French, although the guys working them confirmed my orders in English. Oh well, I try. No one has told me to stop speaking French so far so I must be getting my point across. We also saw some pink and purple chocolates so the girls each ordered one. They sure have been getting their fair share of French and Tunisia sweets this week! They made a mess as usual and then we walked along the lake back to the house. It was still sunny when we got back so the girls ran and rolled around the yard for a bit. And they were very excited when Roy (one of the house guests) came home so they could show him around the whole yard. Surprisingly, although he has been to the house at least 10 times, he had never toured the yard. The things you see when being guided by kids.

I am learning that it's very hard to walk with the girls on Tunisian streets. I don't want to have to hang on to the girls' hands all the time but when Hunter almost stepped in front of a truck, it scared both of us. and while walking along the lake, they wanted to be peering over the edge which was fun but a little scary for me. We will all learn how to get around here without falling into water or running in to traffic but for now I try to balance between giving them the freedom to explore and hanging on to them for the whole walk. It's tiring and frustrating but we'll figure it out.

Tomorrow we might try walking for groceries... We shall see how we are doing and if I feel like attempting that.

Good night.
