Ok, so I haven't posted in awhile so I had a few posts to put up and I decided to break them in to a few parts. Here's the next one:
The week was less eventful. My family doesn’t have little kids, and Valentine’s Day isn’t as big here, but Wednesday and Thursday are a very special holiday: the Prophet’s birthday. On this day, neighbors visit one another and people visit those to whom they’ve done wrong during the past year to ask forgiveness visit. There is also lots of yummy food eating at all meals. For breakfast we had crepes, chocolate cake, cookies, honey pancakes, tea, and coffee. For lunch on Thursday we has Cous Cous! The whole family from downstairs plus a neighbor ate with us, so we ate in the formal living room. They all tried to teach me how to eat cous cous with my hands. By the time we were done eating, my entire hand, pants, and the floor around me was covered in cous cous, but I had gotten it down pretty well. On Friday we ate a more modest meal because we’d eaten so much the day before. Mostly I was really sick so I stayed in bed for four days.
