I don’t know if I’ve ever been on the beach before on Eid El Adha – but today was a surprise for me. All the grass was covered with barbequing large families. The women were all completely covered, wearing solid color hijabs, and it was clear to me the families were going to sleep on the beach, because they were very far from home. There was no place to move, no way to make eye contact, not even a familiar accent.

And I kept thinking of what our friend said about Ben & Jerry’s – “with ice cream like that we don’t need Territories.”
