Day Two

I wake up in the morning and find out we are going to the farm. I am so excited! In my Uncle Azizs family there are 9 siblings. Seven brothers and two sisters. They have this farm which is absolutely beautiful. They have everything from lemons to eucalyptus. It is a peaceful lovely place. There is an older woman and a young boy there who maintain the land. This land is huge and well kept. We went and explored a little bit seeing all the various trees and plants. I picked some flowers on the way. They also have a baby donkey just born who wouldnt come near me...so I took a picture of the mom and the baby. Good enough! So as we were exploing we decided to take a ton of pictures for your viewing pleasure! It is obvious the sentimental value this farm has because Maria speaks very highly of it as if it is her sanctuary and her Baba, my Uncle Aziz is very proud of it as well. As he should be because it is a little piece of heaven! Its hard to believe that 25 years ago my mom helped plant the very trees I stood by!
When we are leaving the farm we hit something. It turned out my Uncle Aziz hit a cinderblock with his brand new Nissan X Trail whom he calls his beauty. Haha- I will never forget his face....but luckily his beauty was fine. We arrive home and Nada and Youssef are outside playing. In Arabic, cura means ball, so this is how I ask them to play with me since I dont speak Arabic and they speak very little English. We have lots of fun playing soccer which sometimes turns into basketball on its own. Not sure how this happens. Nada is Marias mini-me I swear! They are very close and its nice to see that in a family.
We played soooo much soccer that night. Its time for bed.
