yum, yum, yum. more ftour footage! i recently was invited to a ftour with the family that takes care of our building. i was really excited to be able to share with them this special meal. they are very, very sweet and always great to practice language with. very thankful, indeed.

it was fun to be able to sit with them prior to the ftour and see how it all goes down. this husband actually makes the mint tea for the family as he is just better at it the wife says! how fun! also i asked where the great pastries came from and hubby picked those up, too. he has got a knack for sure.

so, here is a photo of the whole family. i bawked when i found out the son is 17 (he looks maybe 14). it was his third year to fast and the younger sister's first year to fast. basically when the boys get hair in their underarms and the girls have their first cycle is when they start fasting for Ramadan. after the meal we watched Hidalgo (spoken in English with Arabic subtitles). i had never seen it before. it was pretty good and they enjoyed it--there is even Arabic in the movie and i could understand some of it! yeah!
