As promised...
Dave, Erik, and our tour guides dig in
pictures from lamb brain day...
I should explain that on Saturday some people from CMU-Q got the opportunity to tour a mosque and ask questions about the history, beliefs, and rituals of Islam. The people that gave us the tour are part of a Qatari government organization for the advancement of Arab culture and Islamic scholarship. They are accustomed to dealing with Westerners who are curious but not knowledgable, and I think everyone that went learned a lot. I know I did.
They also gave us a traditional meal afterward. This is usually lamb and rice, and a group of people will eat with their right hand off of one tray while sitting on the floor. Lesson learned: rice is really hard to eat with your hand.
Dave, Karen, and I pose with the tray of rice and lamb:

So cute! Rachel makes friends with our tour guide's daughter:

I am so proud of you! Immersing yourself so completely and staying so open to all new experiences. Please do not expect me to ever cook those for you so enjoy while you're there. New favorite birthday meal? Great job on the blog.

Yay for weird food! actually i don't think lamb is weird. You should have asked for it sin cabesa.
Hi Caryl- it's Felice,just had lunch with your mom- she looks terrific. She told me all about your adventures- lamb eh? looks like you are enjoying life-which is terrific! I sold my house-moved to Hershey PA. I have a boyfriend that has 2 kids (could be a stepmom someday). Life is moving right along here as well. That is awesome that you're getting to travel- enjoy every minute of it. And yes- Pittsburgh is terrific- I miss the people in Mechanicsburg-but not the town. I'll keep watching your adventures-if you get a chance drop me a line at zimmysgirl@hotmail.com. Til you're next adventure.... Felice
