Muhammad

Our friendly driver to the Dead Sea and back to Tel Aviv posed for my camera with the blue background of the bus.

 

Muhammad was fasting on the last day of Ramadan.

I asked how he was doing and he answered:

"Great ! I feel so light, cleansing myself from the inside, too."

"When did you last eat today?"

"I had a date and some water at 03.30 this dawn. I really feel well, don't worry, I'm OK. No, I am not thirsty at all. Tonight we'll eat a festive meal at about 20.00."

 

"What kind of food will you eat?"

"A few days ago I bought vine leaves grown in Hebron, they are the best. I couldn't pass on the opportunity to buy a big bunch, four kilos !"

"Wow, that's a lot. How do you keep them fresh?"

"My wife deep-froze them. They are as good as fresh once you take them out of the freezer. She fills them for dinner tonight. Yes, of course, we eat Qatayef, too, but it's for dessert."

 

I was impressed with Muhammad attitude about fasting and wished him Ramadan Kareem.
