A Shia oasis
... the literal sense of the term. Masjid-e-Shia is a short 5minute cab ride from Masjid-e-nabawi. Entering the compound, you are taken back by the date tree gardens (said to be the gardens of Imam Hasan and Husain (as)), water streams and falls and multiple out buildings (not the traditional mosque with one central building). As a group we were very fortunate to visit this mosque twice to pray jamaat salaat, have lunch ...
Closure
... more I’m away the more I start to feel like a citizen of the world. But it’s always nice to know I can go back to Canada. Maybe someday I’ll return for good. Maybe not.

I go for an hour and am soaked. I need to run like a junkie needs a filled needle. I stop at the gym on the way home to pound out some ...
Night Dive
... 8217;t be living to freely as I did last. And besides I’m back working after a month.
We swilled good beer, danced all night and had an all around great time. The next day I tactfully slept until 4 pm so that I would not have to endure a painful hangover.
