quote:56. Where is the tallest mosque in the world? Morocco (WTG Juju and of course you have!)
Bwahahahaha, Mamie. Yes, we have been there. Okay, so I located the photos. 2008, Holland Amnerica Prinsendam cruise grand voyage from Fort Lauderdale to Capetown, S.A., transatlantic and then going down West coast of Africa. That was a newish mosque, and it was HUGE.
Bigdog is man with camera on far right. You can see that it must have been spectacularly tall as evidenced by the angle of people's heads,cameras, arms looking and pointing upward. Bigdog is sneaking a peek to see if I am photographing him.

Thanks, Dean. Ours was Indigenous People's Day, which replaced Columbus Day sometime during the pandemic. Quite a few Canadians celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving by visiting our city and shopping like there is no tomorrow. Thank you for the sales tax revenue, Canadians.

Yes it was good -lots of turkey -hot on Sunday and cold on Thanksgiving and lots of veggies plus pumpkin pie . We took a plate plus extra meat to a neighbour who had been fighting a virus not covid for a few days. Glad some of us helped your economy Juju . With the exchange etc not really worth it to shop south of the border.
When we took doing the meal -the harder job was to keep our Mom out of the kitchen. Sounds like it wont be a problem for you to stay out of it,Granny Trivia.
