I made it!

so i have arrived safe and sound in Palestine for the next 2 months. yay! the trip over wasn't too terrible...it was really really long but i guess that's normal. hiba (my niece) did fantastic! we drugged her up with benadryl for the long flight from NYC to Tel Aviv so she slept most of the way :). going through passport control in tel aviv went pretty smooth. it took a while and they asked alot of questions because sarah and jason's visas were expired and i had been here previously, but Jesus was on our side so we all got 3 month passes into the country.

the car overheated on the way home from the airport (which happened to us last time i came here...i think i'm bad luck :P) so we had to stop at a mcdonalds and cool the car down and jason fixed the fan while me, sarah, hiba, and another girl went inside and got cokes. but, it was fixed fast.

we got to the house to find saleem and munther (two of sarah and jason's friends who live here in Beit Sahour) grilling chicken and sausages for dinner for us, so that was nice. we kicked them out pretty early tho...we were all in bed and asleep before 9 i'm pretty sure due to jet lag haha.

today has been realxing so far. i just went shopping with sarah and hiba and then went out to eat with sarah and 3 of her girl friends that live here but, the relaxation is short lived because i start working for Paidea tomorrow. however, now i'm probably gonna go take a nap :). thank you for all your prayers and support that have gotten me this far.
