Jerusalem Pride

Since we've had so little to do at work lately, Jacob and I decided to call in before leaving the apartment yesterday. It turns out there wasn't much of anything for us to do there, but Dalit had some other work for us. So she used the phone and email to give us what we needed to do. Jacob and I agreed to take the day off and start on Sunday, since neither of us was really feeling up for it that day. That night, the whole group went to the Old City to see the "Night Spectacular" at the King David Citadel. Before that, a few of us went to a very strange Armenian bar. Among the "hot deserts" on the menu were ice cream and a hooka. The drink orders were interesting; "beer, beer, beer, fanta, beer, beer". The people with me ordered the hooka as well, but canceled it when it was taking too long. The show was pretty awesome; it used a lot of the same techniques as the thing they showed at the light show earlier in the trip, and a lot of the projections looked 3D. It was overall pretty awesome.

Today, I didn't do too much until the pride parade. I had a bit of trouble getting to the park where it started, but I made my way there and joined the group. The march itself was pretty short; only an hour. There were a bunch of speeches in Hebrew that I didn't understand, but the music was good and there was a lot of energy. Lots of fun; glad I went.
