Things I See (Vol 15)

Welcome to "Things I See. If you want to see the previous installments, you can click on:

You would think that a perfectly good cinderblock building could be remodeled, but not here.

Anytime a new business wants to open, they tear down the present building all the way down to the foundation and start over.

This bulldozer is tearing down a building between a mall and another office building, and then they will haul away all the debris.

This happens often.

I'm actually excited about this particular building because we found out recently that our favorite hamburger joint that closed down last year is re-opening here!
This is a tahin machine. 

Inside that top funnel are sesame seeds.

They are ground down to a liquid the people here call tahin.

It's sometimes added to hummus, people dip bread in it, people add honey to it and use it as a dipping sauce, and the people here (including myself) must love it because these machines are in several major grocery stores around town, and they are constantly filling jars.
This is a major highway, and there are sheep grazing along the edge.

I don't know how the shepherds keep them all alive.
This is the entrance into our neighborhood. 

More sheep.



Some days we have a beautiful sun set view






























But at least we don't have to see sheep looking like this going into our neighborhood all the time.







































I see brains here, too, but what do you think that large mound is on the right???


And at least I don't have to eat "ser u pe" (head and foot) every day.  

To be honest, some people do eat this, but thankfully, I have not been offered this delicacy yet.
