Artwork

I have been able to spend some time drawing while I have been on this adventure. Here is just one of the pictures:

This is as best a copy of my own burqa as I can draw.

I have to confess that wearing a burqa is hard. You can't see very well and that makes it hard to walk. But there is a good thing about wearing a burqa and that is: you feel like a super hero, especially when the wind is blowing. The burqa flies and billows behind you like a big balloon. I feel like I could fly. And there is another good thing: there are less people who stare at you.  

As I learned to put the burqa on, I was very amusing to people around me. I found it hard to actually get it on. Native  women laughed when they saw me putting it on. Many of them tried to help me. Someone told me that I look like a French artist because my burqa was tilted off to the side. (That by the way was  not a native.) But the people love the fact that I wear a burqa.

I did finally learn how to wear a burqa. My next learning project is learning how to walk slowly like the natives here. The people know that I am a foreigner because I walk faster than they do. Plus, they can tell my  feet. Please pray that I will learn that quickly. :)
