Well, we started at 8am, took a 20 minute break at 1:10, took another hour break
at 4 and then went on till the end at about 8pm. The not eating wasn't the
problem, it was the standing while praying for an hour or two at a time. My back
was not happy. Add in last night and we had about 14 hours of prayer all
together.
On a different note, I did see a brilliant red bird outside the window during
Torah reading. Just sat there till the end and then left. Must have been
freezing (it was really cold today).
