How Do These Things Work?

In preparation for going into the Old City in Jerusalem, Maggie, Beka, and I gathered together three long sleeved blouses and three scarves. While these weren't necessary to wear in all sectors of the Old City, your arms must be covered if you want to go to the Western Wall, and we brought the scarves so that we could be culturally sensitive and have head coverings if we needed them. The hard part, though, was trying to figure out how to put the crazy thing on my head! Was it suppose to be like this?
No, that can't be right. Wait a second, I think I've got it.


Uh, don't think so. Besides, I'm picking up local radio waves.



No, that's Lawrence of Arabia.


Definitely still Arabia.
Despite these valiant attempt to wrap the thing around my noggin, this was the response that I was getting.



I sensed that the head wrapping was not going well. Darren broke in, "Maggie, would you please show her how to put that thing on." With Maggie's help, we finally got the scarf figured out.


Now we were ready to go. Weren't scarves popular in the 80's or something? I don't think I'll ever be able to understand their appeal. Of course, not being able to manage the thing may be part of the problem!
