On Wednesday afternoon we broke into working groups to self assemble -- I am in a group with women from all 4 countries to work on electronic materials. In N. Africa they have good growth capability, but not much in analysis -- and that is opposite to the US so we have niches to fill! We all worked hard to get out and start sight-seeing at 3:30.
There were enough women with cars so we all drove off to the Mosque. Even with a head scarf I could not get in, they could clearly discern I am not Muslim. Nora (my friend from the US who is Algerian raised and is a Muslim) tried to get me in claiming I was her sister but that failed (Oy vey -- was I that obvious?). Some of the US team did a better job and got in -- I'll have to wait and pay as a tourist.
This is Nora and me outside the Mosque -- REALLY windy!
After we went to the Cornish to walk along the water, then to a famous tea shop.
I'm going to publish more pictures later because I keep erasing my work.
Stay tuned...
