At the edge of my neighborhood 

The friends who invited me and another worker to celebrate Eid Kebir with them. 

The place we stay during the Eid holiday (friend's house) 

The large front door...gotta get all those animals in somehow. 

Me, with about 30 lbs of blankets on me 

These are the local cards! The suites are: money, sword, table, and club and there are no 8's or 9's. Supposedly a Spanish game. 

Playing a local card game 

It was chilly at night, you can see the stack of blankets in the background! 

We ate one of these during our Eid visit 

Hammam-for heated bathing, it gets chilly! 

The bathroom-they would warm some water for your if your tushy prefered it. 

Great Olive trees! 

Over the Holiday,playing cards with a new friend 

My apartment bathroom, YEA! a western toilet 

My kitchen... 

Outside my apartment, I have little 'hanoots' (little markets) close by and large markets as well within walking distance 

My exciting bedroom, with exotic covers...i half expected mirrors on the ceiling when i saw those covers:) 

My apartment.Those are 'froshes' little couch things they use here as a couch, lounging cushions.
