“Adna, do you know why they call this Buur Xabal?” he asked “no, why?” I replied, he waits a while before responding like he’s trying to remember what he was going to say then he finally says “a long time ago it used to be called Buur Yahoodi which means Jewish Bread but when the Jewish heard that we were calling it that they forced us to change it to Buur Xabal which basically means exactly what we are going to do! Cook bread underground.” I was fascinated at how it had that much meaning in Somalia and I didn’t even know about it until today. Minutes pass and we are still walking after a while we get to a big lake that is filled with fresh water that the people here drink from. I was shocked when we saw a couple boys swimming in
