So- after our adventure on the Gobi, we hopped in the car and drove to a Hui Mosque outside Yinchuan- some of the buildings were 600 yrs. old! We were lucky enough to get there to see and hear the leader giving teachings from the Koran- didn't expect that! It looked like the whole community turned out. You see M's Dad offering $ to one of the leaders to let us come in. The men are gathered in front of the teacher, while the woman are together in the back and the boys are in a classroom around the corner reciting the Koran. The teacher willingly opened the door for us to watch and take a pic. It was all very interesting.
After the teachings, The kids saw my camera and were quick to come over for pics. Isn't that little boy wearing the Hui hat adorable! From here, M's Dad took us to a Muslim restaurant, where we met his wife for supper and ate lamb stew. It's one of my favorites!
