Wednesday. My last day alone for the next month.

Yooooo fooooooools.

So, today is it. My last day in Jerusalem alone. As predicted, I am a little sad the time has gone so fast. I'm excited to see some friends and parents of my youth groupers tomorrow, but I have been having such a good time with my friends here and hanging out with Solo. I'm glad I got this time. I know how to say so many things in Hebrew now, too. I guess Orly was not such a bust afterall. That would've been an expensive bust. I digress.

For the rest of the day, I plan on going on a big walk to see all the things I have discovered over the last two weeks. I have taken almost no pictures, so I need to do a little of that today. What I have taken pictures of are stray cats and a few of Solo. That's it.

Things I have learned since I got here:

1. Never say you're American. Everyone knows, but no one likes to be reminded.
2. Never cross the street if you don't have a light. You will get a jaywalking ticket here. And the cops? they aren't nice. Just ask Solo.
3. Only visit the waffle lady a few times a week. If she starts to recognize you, no matter your size, you will be known as fatty american. And no one likes to be called fatty american.
4. Don't ever ask to pay for something with American money. They all will take it from you and then charge you double. For being so stupid.
5. Don't waste your time with vacation apartments when you could stay the whole time at the DPAF. This is not a joke.
6. Bring a water bottle with you everywhere. If you don't, your throat turns to sandpaper in about 3 minutes. Also not a joke.
7. Don't pretend you're mute if you're just going to forget. That's going to cost you some major bones.

I will be traveling to Tel Aviv at 9:00am tomorrow morning... meeting the group who arrives around 10:00- I THINK. I called the tour guide who we are touring with for the next two weeks and he thinks they don't arrive until the afternoon. I think he is wrong, but then, what do I know exactly? That's some information I would really like to have and one of the times when I really, REALLY hate the time difference. By the time I find out what time they are getting here tomorrow, it will already be night time here. Thus, too late for me to call and change the time the shuttle is picking me up at the DPAF. Sucksssssssssssss!! !! !! !!

Well, that's just about all I know. I'm hungry. Which in hebrew is Ani Ra-ev. Ah-knee rah-ev. I'm going to go to Apple Pizza. Because it only costs 10 shekl. Not because it's that good. Talk to you the next time I can get to a computer.

BYE!!!!!!!

Solo as in Han? Because there's no other way anyone named Solo is ever going to gain acceptance into this club.
