Buying an abaya

I'm going to Lulu's today to check out the clothes. I'm thinking of getting an abaya. We need to cover ourselves from knees to elbows, and an abaya is easier and often cooler (weather wise). (At some point I'll get the pictures up - had technical difficulties.) Speaking of which - the Khareef started today (al-hamdulillah!) The weather is cloudy and rainy - not big rain but little tiny rain. But it doesn't really feel humid, it feels cooler.

We had our first lecture last night - completely in Arabic. I didn't understand most of what he said. But he brought us a gift - we all got some frankincense to take home, or eat. Apparently you can eat it? I think it's just tree sap, so that sort of makes sense. I didn't try any though.
