My husband is originally from Iraq. He told me yesterday that he would like us to visit Israel someday. The ancient history there interests him.
He told me this while snuggled on the couch with our dog (dirty animal) and munching on pork rinds (taboo).
His mom is rolling over in her grave I'm sure.
Most of the Iraqis I know eat pork and drink alcohol. They're pretty laid-back people.
Please tell your husband I would like to see the ancient historical areas in his country someday. There's some fascinating stuff here.
So close and yet so far. (Sigh...)
