A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Almost Back to Normal

Well, Munchkin #2's chicken pox are about done scabbing over. I think they've scabbed as much as they are going to, but she should be scabbed over for 24 hours before going back to school. So, she'll go back to school tomorrow (Enshallah).

I love this snap of traffic here. You can see how cars tend not to 'change lanes,' but rather they drift around. Traffic here tends to keep you on your toes.

The elevated bit on the right hand side of the snap is the new train transit system going in here. We're all hoping it helps. If it's convenient to use, I know that I'll use it to reach certain areas rather than drive.

I've been listening to a radio report on lady taxi drivers across the pond. Here in the area, we have lady cab drivers for transporting ladies. The cabs have a pink top. And the women cab drivers have very nice uniforms. The service seems to be in high demand. And, in my opinion, they drive more conservatively than other cab drivers. And frankly, that's not a bad thing.

And one last thing, the silver car in front of the drifting white van was sporting a blue Obama '08 bumper sticker.

Peace.
