i can't lie, you're on my mind.

hello. hi.

we're flying to turkey tomorrow

for 7 days. nbd.

like, no big deal.

okay, it's kind of a big deal.

we've had too much fun here,

and have already met some really

amazing people.

even though we're rockin' the floor-length

skirts, and baggy pants & t-shirts,

we wouldn't have it any other way.

why? because it's our way.

and jerusalem's way.

and our teachers keep telling us that

we're locals, not tourists.

i'd say by the looks of that picture

that that's a fair assessment.

marhaba.

(that's "hello" in arabic.

there's no need to say "goodbye."

we're not going anywhere.)
