A morning out

I spent the morning shopping with my friend Tara. She's got some kind of a dressy event to go to. We spent the morning on Jaraba Street looking at tacky dresses in shops that smelled like cheap air freshener.

It was nothing more than an abuse of the senses.

Came home empty handed... of course.

    shopping in libya is a nightmare and not only for ladies but for men’s cloth as well ... the funny thing is that even in the more "expensive" shops the quality is not usually that good

    I know i am late but "Eid Mubarik to you and your family"

    Fe Aman Allah
