3rd of July

So apparently the weekend is holy. On Friday, Muslims go to mosque, Saturday Jews go to ftemple, and Sunday Christians go to church. Only men over 16 are required to go to mosque on Friday. It is optional for others. The thinking is that young children do not understand and women pray in the home because they have much work to do.
We had a late breakfast of olive oil, hummus, pig's kidney, grape juice, and more. I am trying to get used to eating only with my hands, it's kinda tough, but easier than chopsticks. I am happy to have a shower that sometimes uses hot water, though it's sort of like a hose more than a shower. The tap water here is drinkable, or at least that's what everyone tells me and I haven't gotten sick yet.
