A Real Diner

Like many of my new discoveries this one was as a result of walking in the wrong direction.  So glad I did.  Is this a wee find or what?  I'll be back to report on the food very soon.

White Palace

A diner towards the edge of downtown in late afternoon sun. Someone goes to the trouble to keep the paint fresh and the facade very clean. 

There is an unusual back story to this eatery. If interested, you can read about it in this old post.

May have trouble getting posts up for a bit. Tomorrow is a travel day and it's a sentimental journey, as you will see.               

Premières couleurs de l'année

Signs of spring in the park of the Spiritual Centre of the Sisters of the Cenacle... The little half-timbered building you had seen here last summer.

Dans le parc du Centre Spirituel des Sœurs du Cénacle. Vous aviez vu la petite maison à colombages ici l'été dernier.

Mosques and minarets (two!)

.

M is for mosques!  This one has TWO minarets.

On Saturday our Arabic teacher took us to the nearby Negev Bedouin town of Lakiya.
We drove by two of the town's many mosques.
Sorry about my out-of-the-car-window shots, but there was no time to stop.
We had many welcomes and lectures and visits waiting for our class.
I learned so much in half a day!
It is so inspiring what some of the women have done, together, to advance their status within the traditional, male-dominated society.
More about that in coming posts.

(Meanwhile, happy ABC Wednesday.)

Pretty Bluebells

It is definitely Spring when the bluebells are in full bloom.
