Fasting Month

Oh no, it's been weeks since my last entry, and I haven't written anything like I mentioned in that previous post. However, the water still runs very little, the dry season is longer than we thought. And starting three days ago for one month, the schedule in the house has changed. It's the fasting month, and we do not eat nor drink from sunup to sunset during the course of the month. Relax...we've got the habit since we were kids here ;-) So it's not something that makes us feel weak or unwell. Not at all, though some people might think so. I still go to work as usual, and because I keep active the whole day, time goes really fast and suddenly it's time to eat. OK, we won't eat much because we will go to the nearby mosque for the night prayer. After the prayer, the 'party' can start ;-) And again, since the water's still so little, I still don't cook. For the first day of fasting Fina and I went eat at a street food stall in the neighborhood. Standard food consists of a bowl of rice, one side dish and several kinds of raw or cooked vegetables. And hot chilly sauce!
