Argile


This is smoking in Lebanon...it doesn't stink, and this man likes to put apple slices in the coals on top. When he inhales the water in the bottom of this argile bubbles loudly, and there is almost no smoke.

Thanks for washing my clothes


But please don't put fabric softener in the rinse water with my towel...
ps the bottle was new unopened this morning before laundry started, and I have a major Downy headache, when I come home please never give me sheets rinsed in fabric softener, please.

Try this again


Hi friends! I've been stymied with the blogging cuz I can't get my pictures to upload to Picasa; but I can manage one like this I think. This is a friendly shepherd in Irbid, Jordan where we were visiting last week. Anna and Mercy and I were out on a walk and passed this man with his flock. We had a very interesting trip and met other people too. My parents' neighbor lives in Amman and we spent the night with her before we left the country to return to Beirut.
