friends, lovers or something.

we've been in turkey the past week.

what the heck?

is this real life?

it was a really cool experience,

but we were on different buses,

so we were apart for much of the time.

how unfortunate for us.

but we're back together now,

so don't worry too much.

we're not roommates, here,

as you may know,

which is terribly sad.

we have to make up for the lack

of pillow-talks, by spending every

possible waking moment together.

we've taken kindly to the unlimited

pitas and hot chocolate here,

but whether or not they've taken

kindly to us is yet to be decided.

the food in turkey, left something

to be desired.

mostly there was just nothing

desirable about it.

now we're home.

"home" being israel.

how weird is that?

it's a different level of weirdness

depending on where you're standing.

whatever that means.

hope you're all enjoying life back

in the united states, and on facebook.

we're sure not.

remember to email taylor b.

if you'd like more regular updates.

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.)

(no title).

yes, hello.

we're in the holy land.

there is so much to see,

and too much to blog about.

we'll keep you updated as

often as possible,

but for now, if you'd like

regular updates,

send an email to:

taylorberhow@gmail.com

she'll hook a human up.

off we go,

to where? don't know.

cheers.
