Ma nishma

Greetings all.

So I realised that my last and first update was somewhat below par. Really just a list of activities not useful to anyone but myself. So. I'm gonna throw a tad more colour into this one.

The Holy land is great. At least 25degrees each day, with many opportunities to "worship rah". I have chilled on the beach, caught sunsets and bought a pair of sunglasses...a nice pair of 100% authentic Ray Tons. I spent a weekend partying hard in Jerusalem with a tour group of retired Americans, loitering and getting up to no good around a bunch of high class museums, art galleries and hotels. Met some cool old people and i gave them some pearls of wisdom. I have also planted a tree, done sound for a crazy Ethiopian meeting, and delivered afternoon teas in an old people's home. Note of worth, got to hang with a 97 year old, blind, Jewish, German Theologian who studied under Bonhoeffer, who helped him escape the holocaust.

I am learning Hebrew. Badly. I am now volunteering at a guest house in Haifa. This is my fate for the next 4 weeks.

Photos in this weeks issue include:
An angry Arab woman
My aunt
Me in a bell
Jerusalem
The closest thing I could find to a Jewish Santa Claus.


All is well that endeth well.

Peace

Shabbat shalom!

Hey. So this is a blog. Good times. I thought I would go travelling so I did. and now I am. Current location is Israel. The country, not the popular music genre. Happenings so far, from recollection of first hand experiences, go something like this...

Gave my passport to a crazy Russian lady in a getto travel agency who claimed it was the Indian embassy, still have to see how this one pans out.
