re: #430 Alouette

I visited Mea Shearim today. Even though it is the home of the Neturei Karta crazies it is still one of my favorite places in Jerusalem. I like to buy souvenirs there because it is much cheaper than Ben Yehuda, and I enjoy chatting with the shopkeepers in Yiddish.

I over exerted myself today. I had to put the cast back on my foot, and I also bought a walking cane, made out of olive wood. They whittled it down to size for me. I already wore out the rubber tip.

The Ben Yehuda night life is very enticing. I enjoyed a cappuccino sitting outside, and also chatted with some shop keepers. I keep saying that I just like to look, I really don’t want to buy anything. Of course I sell all of this stuff at the Zionist Mall but there is nothing like a cute little tchotchka shop.

Please eat a real Shwarma for me - everything on it.
