Big Holiday

The big holiday that comes with finishing Ramadan has big traditions around here. Most having to do with going and eating. So on Friday that is just what we did. We went to a friend's house and ate.

The we took some pictures.
Then we rushed off to another house and ate again. Of course while you do all that eating you talk and talk ... mostly about how good the food is.
Then you take some more photos.
Camera swap, more pix.
Back in the car and rushing to the next house for some more eating.
And some more pictures.
And some more pictures, and some more. I think before we got home most of the pictures were already on Facebook*.
There is some other stuff thrown in there, too. Like this year torrential rain that threatened to trap us in one village. And after all that traveling and eating and photo snapping, what do the kids ask on the way home?

Right! "What's for lunch?" Same all over the world.

*Different story, recently we were at the movies and I took Hudson to the restroom at the most interesting part of the film. In the restroom (at the sink) a guy asked me where I was from, to which I answered the USA. So he asks the obvious question, "Are you on Facebook?" And he gets the unexpected answer, "Nope. I use Twitter, I'm not on Facebook." Crushing! A chance for another white friend on FB slips away as we head back in time for the movie credits.
