It is Eid time again on our island.

It is Eid time and Evy was thrilled to take our family pic!
This Eid marks the end of the pilgrimage to Mecca for many people around the world and involves sacrificing an animal for your family if you have the means. We knew it was Eid time when we drove past a normally empty (except for football games) field that was filled with goats awaiting their certain demise at dawn.

We spent the day as we spend all holidays here….dressed up local style, baking cakes and cookies, giving and receiving cakes and cookies, being force fed and eating too much, and visiting dear friends. Here is a glimpse at our Eid Al Adha….
