Networking

So I was headed to Jerusalem and I found a girl through couch surfing who was studying Hebrew at the University. I went to her apartment and met a few of her roommates. After some short conversation I mentioned a was from Bend Oregon and a guy from the other room comes in and says my sister is from Bend. Turns out this guy Brett is the brother of my friend Beth in Bend(Beth Marino and her husband Chris Wolsko, I have spun fire with Beth). Just before I left Bend I was talking with Beth and Chris at Mikes block party, they were telling me that I needed to hook up with Beths Brother while I was in Isreal,I never got his contact info, but turns out it was meant to happen anyway. Ive been hanging out with Brett the last few days, and we went up to the Sea of Galilee over the weekend for a Couchsurfing Party on a private beach. I met about 60 travelers and people from all over Israel. Now have connection with people and couches to sleep on just about anywhere I want to go in Israel. It was a great gatehring there were all different kinds of languages happening the whole weekend and people trying to walk on the water. Now you might not here from me for a little while I will be going into the Negev Desert to a Rainbow gathering over the next week or two.

The Things You Learn in Jerusalem

Turns out Jesus had a son? I got a tour from a Jewish dude, who happens to believe in Jesus, I got blessed by a guy with some sweet locks of hair coming out only the sides of his head, oh yeah and I got searched and yelled at by a a Arab Palestinian, then I stayed up until 7:00am and got pizza and beer for breakfast with some cool Israeli students who are "traditional" not religious. On top of all that I think this Israeli solider with a huge automatic rifle strapped to her back was hitting on me yesterday, a little intimidating yet, still pretty hot.

Don't forget!

Goodness People-

I was just thinking.

This is the place we live! We exist in an amazing place. Bend is beautiful! I hope we never forget what a wonderful this is. I know I take it forgrated sometimes.
