Tuesday, May 30, 2006

Today was a day off so I slept in until almost 9:30a. It was much needed. Skipping breakfast I headed out to the Old City to get a few souvenirs. Most of the shops here have pretty much the same thing. But after being here for a couple of weeks I think I know what things are worth and know where to find things.

I also went into West Jerusalem (new city) to go to an ATM and eat some lunch - I was sick of pitas and Shawarma - The Arabian taco (think pita with mystery meat inside). I found a pizza place - I guess I couldn't get very far from pitas.

This afternoon I did some studying and then had dinner. After dinner I did laundry and went to a lecture about church planting in Israel. It was interesting.

Right now as I am updating my travelblog I am sitting on a balcony overlooking the street. I can hear the sounds of the city (and smell the smells - stinky). Very close is a group of Palestinian men raucously talking and singing. If it wasn't midnight I might go join them. But it is another early day tomorrow and I better get some sleep.

I leave here in one week.
