Meteors

Did you see the meteor shower? It was supposed to be at its best 2 nights ago but some of our guys went out in the early morning and only saw one or two. Last night I got up 3 times to see whatever but there were too many clouds that blocked the view.

Ramadan is anytime now - depending on the new moon - the streets are all prepared with lights, Damascus gate is all decorated, shops and houses are being washed and cleaned. Muslims are coming into the Old City in droves from the West Bank; Israeli restrictions are more relaxed these days but I think they'll tighten it when the Jewish New Year begins in Sept.

My ankle is less painful now that I try not to go out. But the mosquitoes are killers. Will have to clean out my room and fumigate otherwise more mozzies will come tonight.
