We were off work on Wednesday, but I went in for a while to work and go to the gym. Afterward, I had a manicure\/pedicure at a nice salon near our house.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday night we watched a good movie, &#8220;Footnote.&#8221; It&#8217;s set in Jerusalem and is in Hebrew with subtitles &#8211; it was fun to hear some Hebrew words that we understood.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, we went to a large party at Frank and Lita&#8217;s. Lita is John&#8217;s new manager. They had a fire pit set up in the front yard with lots of lawn chairs, along with a big table where folks could eat. It was a nice evening &#8211; not too hot. We came home fairly early &#8211; we&#8217;re both struggling with summer colds right now and aren&#8217;t feeling 100%.<\/p>\n<p>It rained a lot last night, and is still raining a little this morning, but it will probably get steamy this afternoon!<\/p>\n<p>Since not a lot has happened since my last blog entry, I&#8217;ll tell you a bit about our daily life here. We&#8217;re usually up early and head into the office. I go to the gym (very nice and big), get dressed there, then meet John and his management friends for breakfast at the cafeteria. For lunch, we&#8217;re both usually at the American Club (the restaurant on the compound), \u00a0but usually at different times and with different people.<\/p>\n<p>The compound is pretty self-contained, complete with medical unit &#8211; where John and I both went this week to see the Embassy doctor and get medicine for our colds. Sometimes I feel like I&#8217;m on a college campus.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday marked my one month anniversary of my arrival here &#8211; so far, so good!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2102\" style=\"width: 209px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/Optimized-DSC_0075.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2102\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2102\" title=\"Optimized-DSC_0075\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/Optimized-DSC_0075-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Optimized-DSC_0075-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Optimized-DSC_0075.jpg 598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John, Nathia Gali<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So this was a short week, since we were in Nathia Gali through Tuesday.
