The conversation

I seem to spend a lot of time in the waiting area of the orthopedic clinic, so just a couple of pictures I took to amuse myself. Maybe this was more of a confrontation than a conversation; the woman ended up leaving. Perhaps the receptions clerk told her she couldn’t see her doctor on a walk-in basis, as they tried to tell me. Luckily I had a text message from the surgeon saying to just come in and he would make time for me. They finally gave in and let me stay.

Strange. Seems like such an other-worldly scene. I see Muslim women all around Sugar Land, but most don't cover their face. I would feel smothered. Looks like she is standing in the separate women' waiting area too. And he is so covered! Even his ghutra is long past his waist. I'm so glad I live here in the U.S.A. I wore capris and short sleeves to work today. Great photo, Helen. You really caught an interesting glimpse of the culture. V

How do they keep those white outfits so clean and pressed! Do women ever wear white? So much to learn and understand from this interesting place you are living. V
