Mariah came to visit this past week and we had such a great time!! While she was here we did several things. One place we decided to visit was garbage city. She had gone there with us last year and that is the only place she wanted to re-visit this year!! The recycling center is a great place to see Coptic girls and visit with them. They are so sweet and very talented!! Meredith had decided before we went that she would take one of her "beaded bracelets" and tell the story with it to one of the girls. As soon as we entered the loom room, Meredith spotted a girl and began to show her the "colored bracelet". She was able to do all of it in Arabic!! It was a great day. We will post more of our fun times with Mariah and our trip to the Mediterranean in the next couple of days.

Stacks and stacks of beautiful bags!

The girls loved teaching Meredith to use the loom. They are all right around her age.
