violachicBy this time tomorrow, I will have my very own cell phone! This means that if you are willing to pay the rates, and stay up till the middle of the night, you can call me. I will be calling my sister with the number as soon as its humanitarianly possible, and if you feel you deserve this number, you can get ahold of her to get it.
We all decided it would be easier if I waited till some of the team came to church on Sunday to fetch me, and then went back down to Hebron together. I wasn't feeling great when I landed, plus catching the bus is more complicated than it used to be, so it is almost imperative there is someone there to shepherd me. No sweat. Four days alone in Jerusalem, worshipping in the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, lunch on the team, and company. Who can complain?
No big, profound updates today. I'm too tired.
Okay, American men. I haven't been able to take a break from beating off Italian and mideastern men with a stick. What's wrong with you? Where's that line out my door at home? Eh? Turns out I won't have to pay for another piece of jewelry again in Jerusalem if I just keep smiling nicely at shopkeepers.
Gotta love the shopkeeper who's opening line is "Would you like to come give me a chance to rip you off?"
Umm.... tried to do the Via Dolorosa today, but the map was unclear. We (I made a friend in the hostel, and we are checking things out together today) only got about a third of the stations.
Why is it some of the best pizza I've ever had in my life comes from Israel/Palestine? It wasn't even this good in Milan.
Wow, don't I sound like hoity-toity world traveler type?
Postcards are addressed. If I am lucky I will get stamps and mail them tomorrow. Otherwise they don't go out for another week. Inshallah, you might even get them before I return home.
Tomorrow is my last flush toilet for at least a week. Maybe more, if I can't come into Jerusalem for church next Sunday. Oi.
Souvenir requests will be taken. If they are large and need to be shipped home, send me money. If it is expensive, send me money. I don't have paypal anymore, but I can get to a Western Union office. Heck, send me money anyway. I succumbed to a shopkeeper with beautiful, soulful eyes yesterday. Double oi.
Note to self: From now on when traveling alone in a foreign country, wear ring on third finger of left hand, and don't have any qualms regarding lying about being married.
Nap time.
P.S. Hey, this feels like a vacation. Who knew?
