Well, the party’s started here. There has been non-stop calling over the loudspeakers since 7:00. It started out with drums and firecrackers too, but thankfully that has now stopped (although, for all we know it could start again at any time). We are settling in for a night of constant prayer to Alluah. From what we can hear there seems to be a lot of people at the mosque echoing the prayers of the one calling out. You can also hear all the other mosques around us echoing over the city. It is quite the sound. They are basically repeating the same thing over and over and over.... Tomorrow will be a day of feasting as the time of fasting is now over.
This afternoon we went to the pool again. I spent the morning doing laundry as our helpers have the week off. Wow, what a lot of work laundry is here. It sure makes me appreciate Ibu Tati even more.
I sure hope we can sleep through all the noise tonight… The drums are starting again....
