(I'm the reader who has the same birthday as you.) I also happen to be Muslim, although I am American born and raised-- my parents converted years before I was born. I am touched at how respectful you were in this post. I think many people these days are totally confused/intrigued by Muslims, and I am glad to see that you had a good interaction up-close-and-personal with some kind, balanced Muslims...although I wish they would have used less water or cleaned it up...too much water during wudu/leaving it everywhere is a pet peeve of mine;) Hi- Delurking yet again to tell you how much I enjoyed reading this post.

H & M soaked up everything I threw at them and I hope our 5 month journey together gave them an appreciation for the diversity that is America and more specifically the Bay Area. They enjoyed making friends and seeing the real american family life. Safe journey guys, we'll think of you often We appreciated the photos of making silk eggs that same night.
