Day 3 - Iftar (and before)

So I'm updating this a day late, because yesterday went a little off track.

To summarize - first off, we went to the masjid. We listened to the sermon, basically about how we should remember God and make the most of this Ramadan, because we don't know if we're going to live to see the next, etc. etc. We prayed, and then afterwards, we greeted our friends.

In Ramadan, a lot of people show up that you usually don't see all year. This is the month of redemption, and thus this is the one month when no one holds back with their acts of worship. Thus, there was a lot of catching up to do.

My friend K's great-aunt is visiting from Guyana, so she invited us, and our other two friends and their younger sisters, to their house for Iftar and hanging out. During that time, I tried to write a post, but wasn't able to, simply because having one friend on the computer is seen as a 'downer'.

I got to ride a bike for the first time in...well, several years. It felt extremely liberating, despite the fact that I had chosen to wear a long gown today, and I had to hike it up and use my friend B's hair elastic to tie the skirts out of the way so I could pedal.

It was nice, especially since due to school, and the fact that K goes to uni upstate, so we don't see her that often.

I guess that's it for right now. Now to catch up with today's Suhur, and what's going on right now.
