The girls from the Christian school all wore really long skirts and long sleeves. I didn't think it would be comfortable or conducive to their type of exercise, but they did ok - lost, but were able to move about better than I thought they would.a.eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468719598280416330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-692410566071378812012-12-02T12:45:52.452-06:002012-12-02T12:45:52.452-06:00I guess it's all what you're used to.I guess it's all what you're used to.Kathy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593849691667606991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-55391768974010829532012-12-01T23:22:17.465-06:002012-12-01T23:22:17.465-06:00Funny, but I thought I'd written a comment her...Funny, but I thought I'd written a comment here yesterday. Where is my brain? I remember thinking that it would be difficult to live in Hawaii and wear the hijab and modest clothing. Then again the Hawaiian women were made to wear long muumuus that covered their arms all the way to their wrist and down to their ankles and up to their necks by the Christian missionaries so I guess you could. It sure would be uncomfortable for me though.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-79684262520422315712012-12-01T19:24:16.847-06:002012-12-01T19:24:16.847-06:00When the weather's nice here I see students fr...When the weather's nice here I see students from the nearby high school out walking for PE class.

Being California, I think we have much more lenient rules about such things. One of my students played tennis, and just like the women of the late 1800s, she wore her long skirt. She was a very good player. And a wonderful student.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-9608416867488925522012-11-30T15:18:24.252-06:002012-11-30T15:18:24.252-06:00Yes, I can't imagine doing it during the heat ...Yes, I can't imagine doing it during the heat of the summer!Kathy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593849691667606991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-16481595757691625412012-11-30T15:17:53.509-06:002012-11-30T15:17:53.509-06:00If I remember correctly, though, some of the women...If I remember correctly, though, some of the women weren't dressed modestly enough to satisfy the authorities in their home countries.Kathy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593849691667606991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-84533607697369959462012-11-30T13:10:59.515-06:002012-11-30T13:10:59.515-06:00I'm glad the weather is cooler for her!I'm glad the weather is cooler for her!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720030744345215307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-35896920820897872722012-11-30T11:24:50.944-06:002012-11-30T11:24:50.944-06:00Wow, this is interesting.
