Dear friends and family,
I’m so glad this email alias works. I’ve set it up to go out to
everyone under one address and to automatically go to Facebook as
well.
Yesterday we visited the national mosque as well as the butterfly,
orchid and hibiscus gardens. The women all had to cover up in the
mosque, of course, which I found off-putting. The gardens were
refreshing after witnessing that kind of niqab. We took shelter from a
sudden downpour in the Museum of Islamic Art, which was absolutely
incredible. There’s just not enough time, though!
Today the rain may ruin our beach plans. The other option is to do an
all-day excursion to the famous caves outside of town and an elephant
ride through a national park. It’s unusually cold today. We’ll see!
