Thanks for the hospitality
Dear Dania, I'm at my sister's home, Sue Larsen, and have just seen your wonderful pictures of your journey to Mecca. I want to tell you how often I have thought of your hospitality to her and myself during our visit to Egypt. I tell anyone interested that I went to see the antiquities of Egypt and found the Egyptian people and their courtesy to be the most memorable part of my trip. I want my husband to return with me someday to meet you and vist the country I will always have good thoughts and wishes for, Hopefully your American friend, Sharon

All I can say is "Lucky you!" I have always wanted to perform Hajj again and again. I know what the feeling is like. Although the number of pilgrims exceeds the 2,000,000 people in such a small place, one rarely feels this overcrowding. May Allah accepts your Hajj and grants you the will to go there again.

Update
The first ten (10) pictures were taken by me during this Hajj season (1423H -2003). The rest (those which have the word "borrowed" written in brackets beneath them), however, were taken from other websites.

Clarification
Thanx Hoda for your sweet words. To make things clear though I can only take credit for the article which expresses only some of my feelings at the time of hajj. The photos however, were borrowed from various sources from the Internet. Since I'm not sure whom exactly they belong to, I can only thank them for sharing them with us ...
