The Spa Experience

Today I had a three hour taste of the good life..Firas' sisters got Firas and me a facial at the hoity toity Cleopatra Spa in Wafi City Dubai. Let me tell you this is the life I was made for. I vowed that I will take weekly treatments went we came to Adu Dhabi next year. Amazing! When you all visit I will take you. I have been reading a new book..In Search of Fatima. A must read. This is a really interesting story of a Palestinian girl in the 1940s when it began being occupied. Firas' mom was also born during this time. Actually she was born on the street while fleeing Palestine to Lebanon. Her mother could not carry her any further after her birth from being so exhausted that she was forced to leave her under a tree. Her brother could not leave her there so he went back and picked her up and carried her the rest of the way. She really has an amazing story. We as American citizen have no idea how lucky we are. His family has been glued to the tv these last few days watching the tragedy unfold again between the Palestinians and the Jews. It is really sad. These are innocent children being killed. We should all be praying for peace. War is never the answer. Just a thought. Love and miss you all.
