Just a couple more...

Peter is much better than I am at sneaking a picture here and there. So as I was flipping through his iphone today, I came across some pictures from 'the tents.' (click on the link if you need to catch up) Anyway, here are couple interesting photos that go along with the story.

This first one, above, is a picture of the men praying. It's all very interesting - and looks awfully tiring. They stand all the way up and kneel with heads right to the ground like six times. FIVE times a day. Seriously - my aching knees! Sometimes you see men with bruises on their foreheads, I've heard people say it is from praying. Also, most men wear sandals, easier for taking their shoes off and on so many times a day. Often you see men with the heels of their shoes broken down in the back as well, again - easy on and off.

I don't think I wrote about these men here while they were washing. You have to wash your hands, feet, face, mouth, etc. (it seems more ceremonial than anything, really quick) So I was watching (non nonchalantly, of course), most of them had socks on with their sandals. Then they washed their feet with their socks ON! Ew. Seriously. Sandy, wet socks. NOTHING sounds worse to me. But, I guess they're clean?





These, above, are pictures of cupsa. (rice and lamb/goat) Notice the eating with the hands. Mmmm. (not really)



Some of the kids around the men's fire. I hope my kids remember these times for the rest of their lives. They really are having some amazing experiences here.

That is all.

Now you are caught up to date - sight, that is.
