This is my new friend. She gave me a green heart necklace today. And I am practicing my Arabic with these students. I had fun today and tomorrow we are going to the pool. I’m leaning towards doing this for the rest of the month, and then starting something on my own, after that. The [...]

Just a quick update, as I need to grab some dinner (which will consist of shwarma or fallafel - like always). I spent this morning just hanging around the office while they tried to figure out what to do with my job placement. As it turns out, the Bethlehem Peace Center will be having huge [...]

Arabic. Ugh. I was pretty excited initially that learning Arabic was one of the components of the Palestine Summer Encounter program that I am with. However, as I was sitting through hour 3 of this afternoon’s Arabic class, I was beginning to question my original thoughts. I already had 1 year of Hebrew grammar last [...]

I goit up this morning and walked down to the Damascus Gate and entered into the Old City of Jerusalem. I was immediately just overwhelmed by the maze of [...]

This is David. I met David on the bus from Cairo to St. Katherine’s. His father (who is a bus mechanic in Cairo) and he were traveling to St. Katherine’s for the night as well, to climb a different mountain and just get away for the weekend. Out of any Egyptian in Cairo I met, [...]

So, I needed to buy a bus ticket (pictured above) to St. Katherine’s Monastery for tomorrow morning. Easy enough, right? Well, I was told what to tell the taxi driver to get to the bus station - and I grabbed a taxi, and explained it to him, and I was only 50% sure that he [...]

So, my stomach is still doing very good. And since I have an 8+ hour busride tomorrow to St. Katherine’s Monastery, I decided to play it safe and eat something I knew would be okay, instead of a shewarma that turned out to be sketchy…
So I sucked it up, and went into the Hardees at [...]
