None of my electronics are working and since its Shabbos we haven't been able to
connect with a sim card etc. Oh and getting an internet connection has been a trip too. We have been holed up at our hotel, the lovely Basil international. Fab. 3 stars
and it deserves everyone of them. Great Kosher breakfast. So far no falafel but that's tonight. We are going to Yaffo, the old city that was before it became part
of Israel. Okay, the sea is warm and the sand is soft. Sarah and I have both been
gently nipped by jellies but they are kinda like mosquito bites. I am typing at
the Crown Plaza. I had to "ask" to be let up to their business center because their
public computers cut me off. And well, you all know how I can "bs" my way into the best places. This actually seems to be a real connection.
Prices are out of sight here. We get 3.2 shekels to the dollar. Okay so for lunch
we had 3 slices of pizza and 2 sodas, at a beachside stand. It was 64 shekels! I won't get too political now but you know I am not a happy camper. Israelis are a total trip, I don't think I've ever been in a place were people are so unfriendly, rude and pushy. Wait its a whole country full of me. We meet some nice people on the
plane that have invited us to Ramallah so we will proably visit there when Marylin
shows up on tues. I have no idea where we'll stay but I'm sure it'll be fun.
