... that takes time. <br> Friday afternoon, Shalva (the "girl") and I woke up on the later side and decided to head out quickly before the supermarket closed. From sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday is the weekly Jewish holiday known as the Sabbath, or Shabbat. It is a time for family and friends to slow down and spend time together, meaning everything is closed and you will starve if you don't plan in advance. We didn't plan in advance and the supermarket ...

... robados. Entre esas cosas era también un caso de la cámara en este caso eran algunas tarjetas de memoria. (SD CARDS) en las tarjetas he asignan fotografías de nuestro viaje en España. Estoy pidiendo su ayuda obtener esas fotos, todo lo que fue robado puedo comprar nuevo, pero para esas fotos necesito su ...

... van vriend Ahmad. Ze werken namelijk allemaal op de een of andere manier voor het lokale buurtcentrum. Dat was nu nog een dump, maar kreeg binnenkort een computerzaal, een theaterschool voor kinderen en nieuwe guesthouses voor vrijwilligerswerkers. In het oude guesthouse hebben we staan dansen tot om 3u de Ramadan-omroeper komt roepen dat je maar snel maar wat moet ontbijten, voordat de zon opkomt. En dan zijn drie Palestijnse jongens opeens heel erg normaal.<br><br>Vrijdag ...

... of the U turn even back in my own city, so for me this was a real accomplishment!<br>I get out and ring the doorbell but no one answers...maybe they didn't know when I was coming?<br>I look around, not really knowing what to do since Merav's cell phone was stolen and clearly I don't have one so we were kinda stuck. <br>A motorbike pulls up and I hear my name, it's my little sister-in-law, Einav! Hugs, hugs, hugs and kisses. "Where is everyone? Where's mom?" "She's coming tomorrow, weren ...

... of the day at the grassroots Palestinian Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign, more commonly known as Stop the Wall. They explained that the Israelis are using 4 strategies to completely control and take the land of the Palestinians. They are using:<br>1. The wall - which divides cities, destroys commercial markets, confiscates and isolates people and resources<br>2. Apartheid roads - have separate, distinguished roads that the either Israelis or Palestinians can drive ...

... Aviv I sat next to a young soldier who offered for me to share the movie he was watching. In my time in Israel I would talk to quite a few people, most of them younger than me, who were serving their mandatory time in the military. They were all so friendly and welcoming, with a good grasp of English and no animosity whatsoever towards having to serve in the army for two years (three for males). I hit Tel Aviv at the end of the day and ...

... around the old city and was greeted by a number of different Jewish people celebrating the holy day. Some young men who were handing out celebratory drinks came up to me and asked me if I was Jewish. I said that I was Canadian. Then they asked what my religion was and I replied that I did not have one. When asked again if I was Jewish I said maybe, I am not sure. One of the young men ...

... it to the Indian embassy. They stamp it (in this case it took over two weeks) and bring it back to the travel agency. Maybe the embassy could handle the workload if half of their citizenry weren't gainfully employed answering American customer service phone calls. I need to get that visa, get to Cairo and see those pyramid dealies, then fly to Mumbai on Monday. Oh yeah, and somehow figure out how to vote in the election.

... the Screaming Sabras, we jumped into the already hot and stuffy Micra and pushed her out the gates heading Southwest. Rounding the lake, we drove up through the western mountains of the Galil and pointed the car toward Haifa. Less than an hour later, we came upon the lovely port city....seemingly disturbing it as it lazily slumbered on a tall mountain spilling down to the shores of the Mediterranean. Finding a Cherry street spot in the middle of Ben Gurion ...

... was a detour in the road and we had to go the long way back home, about 45 minutes out of the way and literally in the middle of no where. Seriously, if you could imagine the middle of no where, that's where we were. There were no other cars, no buildings, no lights, no telephone poles, just a long, long road. We even came upon this mysterious big factory that we all think is where nuclear weapons are made: in the desert in the middle of no where, a perfect location. So ...
