Lucy Arrives

There's a sort of Taxi called a Sheroot, a minibus, (£10) vs taxi (£50) but takes quite a bit longer because (unlike a bus) they pick you up from your home, when they're full then off we go!

I sat next to Sonia who's a professor in America and about to publish a book on The Abuse of Women in the Holocaust.

She says Its easier to learn modern hebrew than Biblical hebrew - (today's English to Shakespeare). She said how usually the word "Jesus" is a conversation stopper as its often followed by "says you're going to hell" etc. I wonder what sort of Christians she tends to meet. She wanted to hear about the ethics of american creationism (see my Grand Canyon talk of last year).

Lucy has arrived. That's the Dome on the Rock behind her, the view from Mike's roof. In the sky there's a tiny white dot, a Police Blimp. It's watching the tension in the City of David below. Its not a good sign.

The Beard, She says it more impressive in the fluff than on film. But it must go. Its a small price to pay.
