Hi Geena! So... I have some good news and some bad news- the good news is that i'm not going to Palestine, The bad news is that... I'm not going to Palestine. I have been missing it all year, as usual, and at first the prospect of not going really made me depressed, but you know me- safety first; if there is any violence or extreme stress involved then I am out. Karim cried for like an hour when he heard, it was really sad. Anyway, the flip side is that: a) I am not putting myself into the horrific situation that is going on there, b) I will be back 1 week earlier (probably in about 15 days) and c) I am probably going to take the Chunnel over to france and stay there for a couple days... Are you jelly yet? Anyway- today has been a fun, much needed chill day of art in the garden, movie watching, and Thai food. I miss you too, a lot - but as I said earlier I will probably be back sooner than I thought- about the 25 of this month- let me know in your next post if you will be gone to Idaho or Indiana or whatever (sorry) by then. Miss you.
