dinner, while picking up a nice guy who is a new immigrant and knew one of my friends from mcgill who is a new olah as well. then we made our way to a wine tasting that has been going on for several nights at the israel museum - about 15 dollars and unlimited wine...not that i have such a discerning pallet, but i believe i had a bunch of good wines along my passing up and down the rows getting tipsy:) met up with people from pardes, and other random assorted people who were all very enjoyable company. we then walked our way back to more central parts of town and i made some rounds to people's apartments. met some interesting people and had some good laughs...eventually made it to my final pit stop for the evening...and i had more serious conversation with a fellow pardesnik chic than i would have thought i was capable of at 5am and a little on the intoxicated side. but hey, we are always capable of surprising ourselves no?
i still am getting used to the immediate friendliness that arises after such a short time from people...it is an interesting phenomenon.
i start ulpan very soon so my debauchery around jerusalem will soon be toned down a bit...but i will enjoy it while it lasts. next post, i promise will be more than a description of un-holy escapades with friends new and old.
i love the theme of subtle tension, or perhaps coesxistence, of natural processes vs. the human never ending love affair with technological advancement. you could also call that love affair natural, hmmm? anywho, see the pics below...
now it is 6 am in the holy land, and i am going to go sleep sleep and dream about the delicious salad i will make for the shabbas meal i have been invited to...lettuce...peppers....olives....yummmm
