Impressive to see all the sea of humans from vastly different backgrounds congregate at one place. Religion is one powerful motivator in every sense.

I thought this thread was going to be about Leon Uris's book The Haj. Still good reading from more than 20 years ago.

Moroccan friend went to Mecca. Several things he learned...DO NOT extend your left hand,a mortal insult.If you must piss do not do it standing,but seated on your ass.

That's the only concession to hygiene,the rest was a filthy,disease ridden nightmare.

I think I had this book in my hands, not too long ago, in a used book store. I was mysteriously attracted to it, but I didn't take it home.

Maybe next time.
