Day 66

Today is te first day of Eid al-Adha also called Festival of Sacrifice. It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God’s command. But, before Ibrahim could sacrifice his son, God provided a lamb to sacrifice instead. In commemoration of this, an animal is sacrificed and divided into three parts: one third of the share is given to the poor and needy; another third is given to relatives. As it is also a non working day, ad the people stays at home with the family So Eloy, Lucy and Mark decide to ride to Lahore to avoid the traffic at the Grand Trunck Road (promissing name isn’t it?).

As this celebration lasts 2 or 3 days, we want to take one day off, so we’ll ride to Lahore tomorrow.

Everything is closed. It’s a pity because we don’t have the opportunity to visit properly Islamabad or Rawalpindi… But we can have a lazy resting day at the hotel…

Eating pizza! it’s not spicy!
