Fara Salad

Many of you know that I was involved in a car accident (rear-ended and then pushed into the car in-front of me) right before I left the States.  As a result I am still having muscular tightness.  I have contacted our insurance co to let them know that I still need treatment here in Israel. 

Today I went for my first massage appointment.  I wasn't sure how to find a massage therapist over here.  I ended up finding a Nail Salon that said they had medical massages.  And the lady spoke English. 

It was a really relaxing massage.  Not the deep tissue that I was getting in the US before I left. 

But the really funny thing is.. She used Olive Oil on me.  Hence.. Fara Salad.. :)  I am sure its good for my skin..  It was just kinda interesting to have someone spreading olive oil over my skin. 

The room that was used for a massage was the size of a broom closet.. :)  With my arms outstretched i could reach both walls.  And the length wasn't much bigger.  The table was a waxing table rather than a massage table.  They didn't use a sheet but used a towel instead.

Regardless, I feel relaxed so that is good.  Just wanted to share my experience with you.  Oh.. the cost.. was 280 NIS or 75 USD.
