Eid Shopping

Last night Jena fell asleep in our room after eating and I convinced Bryan to let her stay there for the night (I am so worried about stray dogs catching her outside!) She slept soundly until about three in the morning when we woke up to the sound of tiny hooves on the cement floor and dissatisfied baby grunts. Bryan got up and took her back out to her bush where she slept more comfortably the rest of the night. I have the best husband in the world! I am going to be spoiled when we have babies of our own.
We went into town today to get a few things for the construction on our plot (to which we will hopefully be moving in a few days) and found that the market was unusually busy. We realized with the coming of Eid on Sunday, everyone was out doing their holiday shopping. The good thing about living in a town with a dominant religion different than your own is that you get twice as many reasons to celebrate, so we joined in the fun and did a bit of shopping too. I found a skirt a little on the gaudy side that I love. We found a baby bottle for Jena that has made the whole feeding process SO much easier! We picked out a watermelon from the small mountain on the ground and that we ate so fast when we got home that my stomach still hurts. We were eyeing some fresh limes that were being rebundled for sale, but the vendor had so many dozens of bushels full of them that he just tossed us an armful for free. But my personal favorite Eid purchase are our new sunglasses. Bryan is now the proud owner of a pair of "Adidds" while I love my new "POLIOES." I kid you not. Polioes. Don't be jealous. Maybe we'll bring you back a designer pair. Happy Eid everyone!
