Another Jerusalem weekend

Unless you have specific plans, which I did not, the weekend in Jerusalem isn't very interesting. This time I wasn't the only one home, though. Liz got sick, so Charlie and Becca stayed home to help her. On Friday I went to the shook to get some challa, and I spent the rest of the day not doing all that much. I went to dinner with the remaining people at what was probably the only restaurant open in the entire city. It wasn't bad; they even had that sparkling apple juice we love so much.

On Saturday evening, after doing nothing at all for most of the day, I went down to Ben Yehuda for a bit. There were all sorts of things going on, including what seemed to be a Chinese choir. I got some dinner and then walked around a bit. The first time I passed it, the bookstore was closed, but they opened by the second time (I was wandering), so I popped in. I needed some books for the plane back, so I picked up two that were highly recommended to me: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the first Discworld book.

And that's about it. Today we have a speaker, so that should be interesting.
