Goodbye Stupid Cabbies

Today was our last chance to see the Dome of the Rock and it was open. Elisa covered up in her new scarf, even though it was roasting out. It turned out not to be necessary either. We were able to get into the courtyard but no one is allowed inside the Dome of the Rock anymore, from what we understood. We tried to be as reverent as possible. I am still trying to understand why the site is still so holy to the Jews, given that the temple itself has been gone so long.

On the walk back to our hotel we stopped at the Garden Tomb again. This time we were actually able to walk inside the tomb. Inside the tomb was one of the few sites where we didn’t feel like it would be appropriate for us to take pictures. I was really glad we were able to come Friday and today. Friday was a day of meditation so there weren’t any tours allowed and it was so peaceful. But today we were able to access everything, which was great too.

Traveling back was relaxing. Stupid Swiss Airline cut short the entertainment before we were finished watching Enchanted though. Back in Zürich we were greeted by new snow! From our stay in Jerusalem, we were under the impression that the whole world was sunny and warm. We sure lucked out with the heat that Israel has been getting.

” One of the most appalling aspects of this was the practice of devshirme, the collecting of boys among the Christians who were forcibly converted to Islam and taught to hate their own kin. “Isn’t this what we see now via Political Correctness/liberalism/modernism whatever you want to call it? Europeans are being turned against their cultural heritage all over the Western world via biased schools and media.

O Tontinho Lopes,o pavão que o Jorginho comeu na ceia de Natal de 2004,está de volta dizendo tontices como o Otelo.De castigo, um devia ir para secretário em Paris fazendo telefonemas para cá para dar as ordens do Boss ao gang Sócretinista mostranda que está mais cá do que lá.O outro deve ir de Chaimite e G-3 até Paris instalar-se na residência para a terceira idade "Avril au Portugal".

to live here under oak and skyamong the other shadow-folk who roamfrom tarp to QuikStop with its coins and chrome.For them, no more commuters’ metronome.By nightfall they’ll return again to lieat water’s edge.Do they have histories? See their tracks in loamand dust. They gather in the twilight gloamand dark; faces by campfire belieone man missing. A young girl’s lullaby –what memory does it touch, what thoughts of homeat water’s edge?
