Lebanon#3: Muslim Women

Muslim women are great fun.

Or perhaps I should rephrase, in my experience of muslim women, they are great fun. At the our hosts house yesterday I was really struck by the fact that it was the women who were taking over. Once the welcoming and traditional honouring of guests with teas and drinks came we settled into a great bustle of jokes, laughing and talking that was all from the women.

It maybe that one of our party was a chiropractor and had treated a lady for her bad back. But it was the mother who was babbling away with wonderful animation and humour. Her daughters who were leading the chats and sub points and her grand daughters who were making any attempts to speak in English to us.

Simply put, the ladies of this muslim household were great fun :)
