Masa Elheir Habibi!
That means "Good Evening Sweetheart" in Arabic :-) On Wednesday night, we had our "Arab Culture Night" where we dressed up (not in costumes, but in varying degrees of authentic dress) and took pictures, had dinner, learned Arab traditional dancing, and we also got to see two Muezzin from the Al-Aqsa mosque who preformed a Koran reading and a Call to Prayer. It was really cool!!!
Lindee, Mitch, Tye, Tyler, and Jenessa
Lindsay, Sawyer, Sarina, and KC
I don't quite know what Tawny did to John, but whatever...
Rocking it.
These were the two muezzin who preformed the Call to Prayer and the Koran Recitation--They were great!!!
Call To Prayer
They also demonstrated how to pray in the Islam religion
Afterwards, we had a delicious dinner of all the traditional foods eaten at the feast after Ramadan
Preston, Matt (my "GFF"--good friend for life), Me, and Susana
Lizzie, Sara, and Taylor looked awesome!!!
Sawyer is a boss.
The winners of the "Authentic Outfit" Contest (NOT a costume contest, as we were not wearing costumes, but participating in a culture night): Mitch, Lizzie, Sara, Taylor, Tyler, and Skylar
