Swimmin'

Sunday afternoon several of us went out of town to our language teacher's house and then down to the Nile to play some volleyball. Our net was 2 bamboo sticks that they just cut down out of a field and a handmade net that was actually very impressive for handmade. We went down to the beach and they dug holes as deep as they could and then we just put the poles in and filled in the holes. Surprisingly, that worked and we played for several hours.

In the middle of playing we took a break and went swimming in the river, it was my first time. Well, I actually didn't get all the way in but I did hike up my pants and get in up to mid-calf...scandalous. Although I have noticed a bit of a double standard. For instance, how is it ok for some guys to strip down completely naked and take a bath 100 meters from where I'm standing but inappropriate for me to show my ankles? I don't understand but maybe next time I'll get in up to my knees and really give 'em a show!
