Tabaski pics

Yes that is a hoof in the fire.


He was proud of his 2 sheeps heads.




Notice the hoof on the left side of the picture!
These were the sights outside of our door yesterday - lots of things to see and smell! Everyone was in the party mood - they were many fireworks and festivities. Above is one the neighborhood children in her new dress. Everyone was dressed in their new outfits. It was fun to see all of the children dressed up - it is kind of like Easter morning. Throughout the day, children came to our door - we gave them candy. We were told that they would bestow blessings upon us and then we would give them a coin, but I think because we were white they were not quite sure what to do with us! We gave them candy anyway, but no coins.
One good thing about Tabaski - with the government workers not working - they didn't turn our water off yesterday!

It cracks me up that you point out the hoof in the first picture while casually dismissing the HEAD in the same photo.

yummy.
