i ask myself this every morning as i wake up to this beauty.
this is where i reside. this is my crib. this is my home. this is my nest. this is my chummy wummy cozy wozy. this is my cocoon. this is my abode. this is my بيت. any way you say it, it still doesn't seem real. i still don't believe it.

Today was Sunday. (unlike rebecca black, i am stating the obvious day of the week for a reason.) Sundays in the Holy Land are regular ol' days.
...and regular ol' days in the Holy Land look like this:
a visit to "Arab Costco"
discovering graffiti that takes the words from your lips.
haggling and bargaining in street alleys.
shekel pops.
playing soccer in the streets with the Palestinian children.
exploring new cathedrals and ancient buildings.
the first day of skool= attractive outfits + new books.
(lenient on the attractive part)
win.win.
locating call to prayer towers and plotting revenge on those who have disturbed much sleep.
watching children play soccer on rooftops.
and spotting cats on rooftops.
