The Past Few Days

Not much of note has happened here the past few days. I am enjoying very much simply living. My schedule is: sleep, yoga, eat, explore, write, eat, write, hang out. It is great. Being here has made me realize that I can live even more simply than I do bake in the States. One of my biggest realizations is that I can wear the same pair of jeans twice and nothing bad will happen.

Wednesday the owner of the Inn commented to me that he liked my blog. This was shocking to me as only about 2 people here not including him knew about it. He has Google Alerts or something set up for any mention of Fauzi Azar, and I mention that pretty prominently in the blog. Anyway...because of my blog post about the laundry quandry, the volunteer house is getting a WASHING MACHINE this week! How exciting is that? Life has just become so much easier. I just hope it arrives before I leave for my weekend at the Sea of Galilee. Toda Maoz!

Friday I got to visit the neighborhood mosque for a special tour. I had to buy a head covering so that I could even visit. I am no closer to understanding Islam after that visit, however, I need to make remedying that a priority. There is still so much that I do not understand even about Judaism or my own religion for that matter.
