October 19th, 1325 The Festival
Everyone in the entire city came out to welcome us when we arrived in Tunis (Document C). When I realized that I was the only one that nobody knew, I felt incredibly lonely. I realized that nobody even really noticed that I was there. I could feel my tear ducts filling and couldn’t bear to hold back the tears. It was incredibly difficult to finally arrive and know that nobody even cared after the suffering and hardship I had gone through to get there. There was a mere one man who actually realized the tears falling down my face and understood why (Document C). He was a kind pilgrim and came to me to greet me with a friendly smile and hello (Document C). We talked and talked for a while until finally I entered the city (Document C). By that time, Abu' Zakariya IL’s son, Abu Yahya, had taken over as the Sultan of Tunis (Document C). I noticed a lot of well-known scholars there (Document C). While I was in the area, I decided to go to the festival of Breaking of the Fast and went to the Praying grounds (Document C). There were a lot of people there and every single one of them dressed very fancy. When Abu Yahya rode in on his Stallion, he was of course surrounded by his entourage (Document C). This of course is meaning that his family, protection, and advisers were walking along side him as he was brought into the festival (Document C). After all praying was done and the Allocution was finished we all went home (Document C).
