"I'm just here for the food"

-Loai Qumseya





Tonight Jiries had food and hookah ("I did not inhale") from Bombay Burger DELIVERED to his house, and a bunch of the cousins came over and we ate and drank the night away under the grape vines outside. The food was good and the company was even better. I am exhausted.




Jiries singing, "shake your booooooty...!"



Earlier today: these are some pictures from around the house I am staying in (Beit Halaway).


Pomegrate tree in the yard


Barbeque site...so nice


The stairways to the front door from underneath the grape vines


Not quite ripe yet


Jiries' house


The "supermarket" next door


These trucks drive by all the time, if you look closely (click on the picture to enlarge it) you can see the bed is filled with watermelons. Either the guy driving or his passanger projects constant monotone adertisements over a loudspeaker in attempt to lure people out of their homes to buy whatever they are selling. I was really confused by this at first until I saw the groceries in back.


This is where we hang out when Jiries' family comes over to barbeque. It is a relief from the heat because the grape vines provide shade from the sun.
