Omanis continue to impress me with their
unlimited generosity--and Omani women's cooking skills (OH MY GOD!
MashaAllah alaihinna). Today, for iftar (fast-breaking), I went to the
house of a family I have never met or visited before, but the woman who
gave me and my friend a ride to her house turned out to be our institute
director's sister. There was SO much food, SO much kindness, and SO
much fun! After iftar, we talked and all, and then after taraweeh
prayers (the long, voluntary prayers during the night prayer, performed only in Ramdhan) were finished at the mosque, several neighbors (women only) came
over to visit - an Omani (commonly Muslim) tradition during Ramadhan
where neighbors and relatives visit each other and eat some more. And
talk loads, too. Today was a happy, happy day, hamdallah! Oman's being
so good to me right now.
