Time Where I Was

About Me:

I, Kate Vasicek, took the path less traveled by - became the only American, red-head, Mormon for miles and miles when I deferred from BYU to live with a Muslim family and study at the University of Yarmouk from Feb-June 2007. You can read about my adventures on this blog.

Photos of my Adventures

El Fishawy

On the right, you can see the outside of the El Fishawy coffee shop in Cairo. This coffee shop has been open 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the past 200 years.

Ceiling of a Mosque

This is one of the mosques at the Citadel of Mohammad Ali in Cairo, Egypt. Isn't it beautiful?

Me and the Mosque

I'm not wearing any shoes. This mosque is mostly for tourists, not normal worshipers.

Bismalla el RaHman el Raheem

In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate

Beirut

This rock looks like something from Peter Pan. You can see it from the Corniches or Boardwalk, near Ras Beirut, a main part of the modern city.

Hizballa

I wasn't allowed to take this photo, but I did. The missionaries and I walked between where Hizballa set up their tent, and the Lebanese Army set up their tanks. Yeah, we walked right between them to get to Centre Ville, the pretty downtown area. I wasn't leading the way.

Christian-Muslim-Hariri

President Hariri's last cup of coffee was at "Place de l'Etoile" here in down town Beirut. To the left is a Christian church, and behind is a mosque.

This Way to Iraq!

Don't worry, mom. It's over 500 miles away!

Yarmouk University Language Center

Here I am with all of the Language Center kids!
