Dane, Simon, Craig, Adam- our Studly guys!

Husky field!

Sidi Bou Said Marina

Dane's mouth got stuck wide open! He was afflicted with the rare anti lock jaw. He was lucky that it cleared up the next morning.

Day 8

- Took advantage of the 85 degree day and went to the beach

- Drove to Raf Raf a town located on the North Coast (a little over an hour drive from home)

- Beautiful beach with no one else around (except for a few local guys cruising the beach- always interested in the expat attire-you would think they have never seen a bikini before (maybe they haven't))

- We also provided extra entertainment by playing Frisbee in the water

What studs?

Beautiful clear water, great place to go for a swim!

Sorry for the 60's video, it looks like my video is struggling with color now. Looks like I need a new camera this summer. It does capture the frisbee being played in the Mediterranean though.
