April Fool’s Day part 5

We ride in quiet all the way there. He pulls up in front of a building that has a partial sandbag barricade with a few men dressed in uniforms. “Is this the police station?” “Yes we go to make a report.” He talks to one of the officers at the entrance. Men in uniform and plain clothes scurrying in... Sign in to see full entry.

Farak and Ahmad, the two office engineers come out occasionally to keep me company. Anything to keep my mind off of what happened earlier and how much Noaman is making it worse for me. We talk some of the differences between our two countries. “I don’t understand why the people throw their garbage... Sign in to see full entry.

April Fool’s Day part 3

My adventure for the day turns out to be a nightmare that is only just beginning. I cross the street and walk down one block to our street. I see four men in a jeep and two sitting along the sidewalk dressed in blue. I wonder if they are police or not but decide to just walk back to our building and... Sign in to see full entry.

April Fool’s Day part 2

I feel something jab my arm. My purse being pulled from my shoulder. I have a firm grip on it and not on the straps. He hasn’t counted on that happening. He yells something in Arabic at me as he pulls again on my purse. I see the blade he is brandishing. It’s very long yet rounded at the top. He... Sign in to see full entry.

April Fool’s Day part 1

I am stressed out and frustrated. I need fresh air and to walk along the sea. Maybe take some pictures. Get rid of some of this pent up nervous energy. The weather is beautiful. Temperatures in the seventies and not a cloud in the sky. I hear the traffic roaring all around me. So few gaps in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Wednesday

It is Wednesday. Another beautiful day with clear skies and warming temperatures. Noaman leaves for “the land” again. I don’t really understand why he calls it the land. Maybe because there is farmland there. It’s an all-day stint. I putter around the house. It only takes me about one and a half to... Sign in to see full entry.

Thursday part 4

We arrive at the café. There isn’t parking in front of the café as usual. Noaman lets Heba and I out while he goes to park the car. We walk in and everybody is in the main part of the café instead of the balconied area as usual. It’s a nice change for me. Amgad, Wagedi and Mohamed rise and start to... Sign in to see full entry.

Thursday part 3

“What level do you want to teach?” “I prefer not to teach little ones.” “Oh you don’t want to teach the basics.” “Yes I prefer to teach grammar, conversation and writing. I edit paper and books right now.” “I’m sorry what?” “People write books and papers and then I correct what they wrote. I edit... Sign in to see full entry.

Thursday part 2

I decide I want to try their cream custard. It looks a lot like flan to me. Noaman decides he wants some as well. I don’t even bother to argue with him this time. He asks for the check and pays it. We walk to the car. “Does Ahmad want to do anything tonight for his birthday? “ “I will just buy a... Sign in to see full entry.

Thursday part one

It’s another beautiful day as we look to the sea from our balcony. It is calm today. Barely any waves. Not many people out and about yet. Noaman sticks his hand down his pants and moving his hands around. I can’t resist and ask him “Did you lose something?” He laughs, shakes his head and pulls his... Sign in to see full entry.
