Just wanted to give out a big Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem. I'm here in the holy city, waiting to go to the Kotel for Kabbalat Shabbat. WOW.
Quick update too. Obviously I'm not in Tzfat any more, plans had to change. I'll be here for a few days while I'm deciding what to do. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go to a farm that is in real need of help. But really, who knows.
Lots of events in the past few days. Time is of the essence currently, so this might be a bit short. First of all, remember to drink. Not just drink, but drink a lot. This was a big mistake on my part. And sweating is very natural, and common, and bad if it goes away. That was another mistake. And please, don't climb up a canyon at 2 in the afternoon in the desert, not a good idea. Due to all of these, I decided to check out a local ER--what an experience. Not that I recommend it though. I'm fine and have learned many valuable lessons.
The group disbands in just over 36hrs and it will be really sad to see every one go. I can't imagine what it will be like to be on my own time schedule once more.
I went to the shuk today and can't wait to go back. I actually bargained with a shop keeper there, in Hebrew. That was so empowering. Knowing numbers really helps.
I am getting a mass of stories that I cannot wait to tell, soon, I promise.
Mosquitoes have feasted so well these past few days, courtesy the Rachael buffet. I have well over 100 bites. The most distracting are those on my face, while the ones on my toes drive me crazy. I think they think 100% DEET is dessert. Oh well. What would a trip be without a little adventure? This is so stream of conscious right now; I have so many thoughts and so little ability to form them coherently.
And in case it is not coming through, I want to say clearly that I am having an amazing time. Really, this is the best thing I could be doing with my life right now. Miss you in a good way.
