Skype with Jessica
By M.M.
Today, November 10, we skyped with Mr. Joe’s soon-to-be sister in law! Her name is Jessica, and she is the wife of the aforementioned (In my last blog post) Saif. But if you don’t remember Saif, he is a nice, smart, cool Muslim guy whom at the moment is living in Tunisia. Jessica has been to Egypt, Israel, Tunisia and more! She lives in Greensboro N.C. and as soon as Saif gets his visa he will be living there too!
Jessica was very nice. She told us about her experience in Egypt, her journey to the pyramids, how she met Saif, and how people treated her. Apparently, she was worried about going to Egypt and and even brought a veil just in case she needed one, but everyone was very nice to her, and she said she felt safer there then she did here sometimes! That really surprised me! I thought people wouldn’t be insanely nice, but they were actually really liked America, like Obama, and even wanted to come and visit! Its was really cool hearing about her going to all these different countries. Like when she went to Israel, she had told us that everyone had to go into the military when they turned 18, male or female, and that she had seen girls 18 years old, with machine gun, standing in uniform! It was all so cool to hear! I really learned some interesting things about those places. They even made me want to go visit Egypt, but be careful about getting some to bring you to the pyramids, she got ripped off! But she said they were cool!
I really enjoyed talking to Jessica! Though I was surprised at how much alike her, Saif, and Mr. Joe were! We decided Joe’s personality is contagious! Better watch out! Well, I’ll just say, to rap this up lazily, I REALLY hope we get to talk to both Jessica and Saif again!!!!!
