老两口儿的驼峰之旅 (Two Old Fools on a Camel)

Reluctantly, Vicky and Joe leave their Spanish mountain village to work for a year in the Middle East. How could they know that the Arab revolution was poised to erupt, throwing them into violent events that would make world headlines? Teaching Arab kids, working with crazy teachers, forming life-long friendships and being placed under house arrest, Vicky and Joe laugh and lurch through their year in Bahrain. With grateful thanks to Nadia Sawalha for the wonderful Arabic recipes.
