the best meal of my life

I don't know what it was about this meal but it put me in such a great mood. We sat on rugs on the ground around small tables with our trays of food - flatbread, chicken and rice, hummus, pickles, tzatziki, cucumbers, and salad, poured water out of watering cans, and chatted. Later we had tea and cookies, and walked out into the desert to look at the stars.
The desert is amazing. You'll either find yourself or go insane.
