THE FINAL POST (sad right? :D) 

 At last! I arrived in Mecca. I first went to Kabba, which was a holy shrine. Kabba was like a cube shaped praying room, where I went inside and prayed. I kissed the holy stone, and drank the holy water of Zamzam. I stayed in a residence near the Gate of Ibrahim. After nine days, all of us Muslims arrived in Arafat and said prayers and sermons. The next morning we had a feast! This was the tenth day. We threw stones at the devil so Abraham did not sacrifice himself. After the tenth day, I stayed in Mecca for three more weeks and then the rest of the adventure was up to me!
