Mbrouk Leid! That means Happy Layeed (kind of the pronunciation) Here is a picture of a woman's kitchen where I spent New Year's Day out in the country, near where my host daughter's grandmother lives. This is a big holiday time when families kill a sheep and then that is all they eat for those two days...along with their flat bread, of course! There is more meat for later, but the first two days are devoted to internal organs, the head and the feet.

The next picture is of the three sheep that were killed next door to my house. They were for the mom and dad, and two brothers, so one sheep for each family.

It was fun to watch them all get together with their families, much like we do for Christmas. There is no school for about10 days, and we have restricted travel due to so many vehicles on the road.
