Snow Day! In Doha?

We are all on pins and needles waiting for Eid al-Fitr, marks the end of Ramadan, to begin. Eid is Arabic for festivities and Fitr means to break fast! Eid is a three day period filled with gift giving and food (remember Muslims around the world have been fasting for the past month). The timing of Ramadan, as well as Eid, is dependent on the sightings of the moon. So while we are scheduled to be off of school Wednesday-Sunday, if the moon is sighted early, we will get an extra day! Think of it as a snow day in the desert! lol The Imam, Muslim religious leader, will proclaim the sighting of the moon as soon as it is seen.











So Michael and I were walking around the compound last night and I said, "look Halloween decorations!" As we got closer, I realized...they were RAMADAN DECORATIONS!!! Had to share!
