Twas the Day Before Ramadan






Ramadan begins with the sighting of the new moon or after the last day of September. Since the moon has not been seen, Ramadan begins tomorrow. So, we went out to lunch today anticipating not being able to go out to lunch for awhile.
We went to City Center Mall in Downtown Doha. It is probably the biggest mall in Doha and it was all decked out with Ramadan decorations. This big castle was one of the main decorations. Our little friend that was with us commented on the characters in the castle, "Look Mom, it's Jesus!"
One of the challenges living here is keeping our children grounded in their beliefs.
