This past weekend was pretty full. On Friday night, a lodge nearby hosted a dance lesson in Hebrew dancing, which was very, very fun! They have several more dances planned in the upcoming weeks, and I am really looking forward to them.
I went down to Islamabad on Saturday for some shopping, and had a very productive day! The road down is technically 4 lanes across - 2 each way. With the monsoon season, though, it's been really rainy, and, therefore, very muddy: Here, the mud is spilling over the retaining wall into a gutter on the side of the road.
Here, the mud has broken through the retaining wall and completely covered the closest 2 lanes of traffic, but was stopped by the divider. Traffic here is pushed into 2 lanes - one each way.
Once in Islamabad, we got a lot of shopping done. You have to go to at least 5 different shopping centers to pick up whatever you need, and one had canaries for sale. In the cage with the canaries, though, were a few birds that looked like pheasants (like this one on the left).
And this bird here, which is very colorful, but I'm not sure what it is. Any ideas?
It was a very busy weekend, and it was difficult to get up on Monday, but the week is off to a good start, and I'm looking forward to settling into a routine!
