Today, my friend Daniela and I went on an adventure. Yesterday, my friend Ismael's mom contacted me, asking if I'd like to go with her to visit Ismael and drop some things off. I was already planning to spend the day with Daniela, and as it turns out, there was room for her too. So, Ismael's mom picked us up this morning to go to his university. On the way there, we stopped by her step-daughter-in-law's house to drop off baby things and visit her new baby. Then, we headed to the university. Ismael knew that his mom and little brother were coming, but didn't anticipate mine or Daniela's arrival. We surprised him further by acting as if we just happened to be standing by his mom's truck. It was hilarious gauging his reaction as he realized that his mom planned the whole thing [
also, as it turns out, Day 178 was not the last day we saw each other.] After that, we spent a few hours helping set up his dorm. As we were heading out, we snapped these photos. Then, we went over to his family's house to have dinner [
we met lots of their family today, haha.] They cooked amazing Arab food that really made me miss Dubai. By then, it was getting really late and Ismael's mom drove us home. It was a great day with great people.
