Flea Market

The Berryessa flea market. Just a little drive, not far, but walking around I felt like I was in the minority. Good feeling. It is good for me to realize there is more to this area- more to my own city- than my neighborhood and what I see every day.

I am looking for something along the lines of an Indian salwar chemise, which is a whole suit, and I am only looking for the long top to wear over jeans. Being in the stores last week had me frustrated that there is hardly a way to look any different than anyone else- I don't want to look like "Target." This look is sort of different- I want a shirt that is too long to look like something I picked up on my side of town.

I found a few little fabric shops with Indian women looking around- the fabric is gorgeous, I really should just buy and have made or something. They had some suits, but the lady quoted one as "$100" and they all looked too fancy. Also thinking they all look a little too big/billowy with funny necklines... I'll have to keep doing my research.

My class on Islam requires that I interview a Muslim person, so I want to find a Muslim woman to talk to. I was looking around today, and there were plenty of people from all kinds of backgrounds, it seems to me.

I am going a little bit crazy living at home, but I suppose I can trust God day by day to lay out my path before me. I won't last forever.
