We're in Ramallah and it is sunny and beautiful. Pretty soon we'll be going out to see if I can get a haircut and then maybe grabbing a up of joe at the local "Stars & Bucks."
Plans are ever-evolving. We most likely will not stay in Ramallah for the next month, but yesterday we met with an Arabic teacher and organizers at the coalition called Stop the Wall, which helps communities coordinate efforts to challenge the building of the wall. They see the role of international volunteers as educators in their own countries. We need to figure out how best to spend our time here.
We are looking at venues to teach English in community-based settings. We (or one of us) will be volunteering with the international women's peace service. We will spend a little more time near Tel Aviv to visit friends of the family. We have completed a non-violence resistance training but have made no commitment to use it.
today i dream of hot tubs and loved ones. and pop rock chocolate.

interesting sentence miss... care to expand?
It is certainly hard to comment on this stuff. It seems like one of those experiances that just doesnt make sense in words... the kind that no matter how many times you hear it you cant feel it, still, it is really important to keep writing. the stories, thoughts so far are really motivating/captivating. I encourage you to take many pictures, remember and write down as much as you can... and thank you. peace and love and much respect
