Aid al- Adha
The "feast of the sacrifice" took place in December, and it is a commemoration of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son, Ishmael. He did not sacrifice him as a sheep was provided for sacrifice.
The idea is to sacrifice an animal and then share the meat with those around. This is a picture of a cow waiting to be slaughtered.

A wedding...
The bride and groom: They dressed them up like a king and queen... because they will be king and queen of their household.
The sister of the bride (my friend)!

London!
Smart peeps in London, check out this place!
The LONDON bridge... I don't care what our tour guide said about it being the Tower bridge.
So this is what happens when you haven't seen grass in a while.... you RUN in it! (Hyde Park).

Garbage City...
If you ask some locals here about Garbage City... they say it doesn't exist. In this city... men, women, and children go through the trash... and live in it as well. The smell is beyond words. It's heart breaking.
If you look very very closely you can see a red headed little girl sitting on a stand of some sort (on the left hand side)... she is to the left of the the lady sitting on the ground... she's too cute!
These children caught my attention and I am so grateful that I got a picture of them. :)

Visiting a national friends house!
Let me just say that the food was AMAZING. It was delicious, but here they insist you eat until you CANNOT eat anymore. I reached that point and told the mom I was full. She proceeded to spoon feed me... literally. I thought I would explode.
