snap happy part ii

*UNPAUSE*

so i began the day feeling sick, but got to the meeting point on time anyway. i got a ride from there into base, where i printed out a few sheets of lengthy and wordy hebrew to practise for a speech on sunday. on the ride out of base i passed out pretty much until we got to jerusalem, where i picked up a super-healthy doughnut for breakfast before we all headed out to the first stop.

our guide for the day was awesome. he's an extremely knowledgeable historian and loves to hear the sound of his own voice, which is a fascinating combination.

unfortunately by the time we got to the temple mount, i was really tired and my throat had been dusty since the morning, so i passed out for a bit and missed some of it.

i'd go into a political rant about israel's bad attitude towards defending her rights, but i'm hurrying off now to mmf's to pay them a visit.

the only thing that upset me today is that i missed the first proper rain of the season, which singer called me to tell me about. i couldn't help but smile when the bus pulled into tel aviv, however, as the faintest droplet trails ran down the bus windows when we hit the last of it :)
