Looks like I was tricked, or have a very strong misconception about Israel being a desert, or what a desert even is, or something. Anyway! Picture this... A West Coast winter of rain and gray skies meets prairie winds and dare I say? Snow. Yup. That's winter in Israel, so you can imagine how pissed I am. Okay, so it's not so bad, coming from the great white North but I really never thought it could be so awful. I was on house arrest for four days because the wind and rain would not give me a break, I went batshit crazy and was quite ornery until I could get my newly sugar and gluten enraged body to the gym again. While the weather is of course bearable (not minus 50, I remember those days!) the fact that the indoor temperature matches the outdoor temperature is not. No warm cars, no central heating, just cold floors, zero insulation, and a cold toilet seat! I am not forgetting to mention that I have to turn a boiler on for twenty minutes to have a warm shower, a boiler?! What year is this?! I haven't worn this many clothes to bed since camping in Northern Saskatchewan in a tent! And I will never do that again.
