Visiting Arab Street and the Mosque

Daniel has threatened to do bad things to me, if I publish this picture, but I can't stop myself. Hope I survive. His long baggy shorts were not long enough, even with significant sagging (hidden under the t-shirt, of course), so he was asked to please wear a robe.
Don't you love it.
We were greeted by a lovely lady who gave us a great description of the pillars of the muslim faith. Would love to have engaged in more dialogue, but we were running up against the Noon prayer hour and the mosque was closing.

Then we went on down the street shopping, buying cool shades, arabic perfumes and admiring the beautiful materials. We stopped at an arabic cafe, where we lounged on the carpets, sipped mint tea, and nibbled on pita, hummus and babaganoush.
Great afternoon. Back home on the bus to take in a swim.
