Jerusalem

Well people, I'm here in Jerusalem, home to the three Abrahamic religions. I floated in the Dead Sea yesterday, touched the Wailing Wall today, gazed at the Mount of Olives, met some guys from Chile, crossed three borders in one week, drove across the West Bank, listened to a woman speak Aramaic (what Jesus spoke), saw Jericho, and some other things I'm sure, can't remember right now. I'll be here in Jerusalem for the next two weeks before returning home to Cairo. We're staying in the Arab quarter of East Jerusalem, about a stone's throw from the Dome of the Rock and the Wailing Wall. I feel such a stronger connection with the Palestinians here, as I've obviously been in an Arab context for the last two and a half months, know basic Arabic, etc. The Israeli people seem so foreign and strange to me. We'll see how the next two weeks go. I miss everyone and hope things are going well.
