My New Muslim Neighbors

Team.... I am very much a Buddhist practitioner. However, I cannot seem to start a new thread at this time.

Just figured it out... Sorry about the double post.

Any who...

My new neighbors are Middle Eastern immigrants. The Husband (from what I understand) works at the local Community College teaching English as a Second Language. They moved in about 3 months ago.

Every other day they send over one of their children with food (absolutely yummy stuff at all times) to my house. The wife always hides when I accept the meal... and when I return the dishes.

The first course was delivered by a girl child of maybe 3 or 4 years old. Absolutely delicious home-made flat bread.
Two days later, a HUGE heaping bowl of Cus Cus (sp?) smothered in Chick Peas, Onions, Carrotts... and other delicious veggies. But, there was a bit of meat about the size of a large meat-ball (I hate to say it, but I gave the meat to my dogie since I am a Vegetarian Buddhist).

The next time a boy child (maybe 7 or 8 years old) delivered more flat bread (right out of the oven and still hot). And again tonight he delivered me another (fresh out of the oven) serving of Middle Eastern Bread. Hot, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. I immediately put a bit of Honey on it and chowed down.

Third time (during Lunch hour) the Father brought me a full course meal and a Salad (absolutely delicious) with Carrots, Olives and Feta Cheese. He said "Lunch was on them and to enjoy this truly Authentic meal".

I think they asked the rental center about me. (The manager probably told them I am Buddhist and Vegetarian).

Just now, the young boy brought over more flat bread hot out of the Oven!!

I have not been invited into their house. Yet, when they send their children over to deliver me food their door is wide open (but no-one is to be found but the kids). They have nothing but a few prayer rugs and a 19" TV.

I have a feeling they are just restarting their lives from certain misery they have probably suffered.

He works, she stays at home with 3 very young children.

QUESTION: How do I ask to show them the town?

I live in Denver, CO and am sure they would love to explore and see the 16th Street Mall and some of the wonderful restaurants.

I want to take them Sight Seeing downtown... how do I confront them?
