Arab Night

This week we had "Arab night" which included an arab dinner with REALLY good food, the call to prayer, and Palestinian dancing....and of course some of us dressed up. In my other post I mentioned the aggressive vendors in Egypt. Well, notice that my man dress is the only one with Egyptian Hieroglyphs on it...that's because there's a small story behind it. I didn't want it...so I offered a ridiculously low price to the vendor. He started at 60 dollars, so I offered him 5 so that he would tell me to get lost. But after a minute or two of struggling he accepted my offer and I was like 'doh.' So I had to buy it. But it has turned out to be the most popular piece of attire in the Center. The other picture shows where we went to learn about the 7 species of plants mentioned in the scriptures. I also had the chance to herd sheep.
