Sunday, after class, Laeneia and I decided to go to the Shuk. On the way there, while walking along Rehov Tel Hai I suddenly heard from behind me, ‘Elizabeth?’
Turning around, I see Jess, a woman who had gone to my synagogue, whom I have known since I was maybe 10 years old, and hadn’t seen in about five or so years. She had just moved to Jerusalem, is studying at an institute very close to mine. Only in Jerusalem.
Monday a few of us went to the shuk again. It was time to buy supplies for the weekly guac night. After, we watched ‘Big Fat Greek Wedding.’
Tuesday night was guac night. Making guac by hand with bad supplies takes a few hours. But when you can buy 4 pounds of avocadoes for less than three dollars, it is worth it.
Today is Wednesday. When I came into the classroom this morning, Tanya informed my there was a cat sitting on one of the chairs. Rivka Marga wasn’t thrilled. I managed to bribe it out—very sweet animal. Too bad the yeshivah won’t adopt it. Tonight, with Hayley, Laeneia, and possibly some others, I am going to see Balkan Beat Box at the Black Party, a municipally sponsored party to raise awareness against drunk driving.
Tomorrow, Chelsea and Caroline arrive and the odyssey begins.
