Today is Easter Sunday, but so far, it is just another day. I guess it is best since holidays really remind you of how far away from home we are.
I ran, went to work and plan on going to the gym. Sometime today, I need to get to Mass. Just like in America, there are no references to religion as it applies to Easter—the only decorations you see are Easter Bunnies and eggs.
Today is also a Muslim holiday—the date that marks the death of the second Caliph—Umar. Since the big split between Shiites and Sunnis didn’t happen until after his time, will the locals celebrate by hiding exploding eggs? Who knows? The really don’t need a reason nowadays to whack each other.
