The rolling seas

So Monday wasn't too eventful. I went to work- I'm going to be helping edit the new website (I'll post the link when it's up.) I'm still working on the Implementation Plan. There is so much to be done for it. Very small details, but all the details are extremely important. After work I went back to my apt and we had to clean it a little, and after cleaning Rachel, Eric, and I went to the mall for dinner. After we headed back and then Rachel and I decided to feed this kitten that was outside our apt, who has a broken leg. It's so cute but cries in pain constantly- it's such a sad sight to see. We were then late for a speaker in Israel Advocacy. I didn't think it was that interesting, but others did.

Tuesday I went to work and got a few interesting projects to work on. About 10 years ago, Richard Gere said something about how he would fund an organization that was working towards peace. So now one of my side jobs while I'm here is to try to get into contact with him... if anyone has any suggestions or leads LET ME KNOW! I spent most of the day finding foundations for Windows to apply to this year. I soon will probably start writing some grants. After work I went to meet up with Ari Orenstein. I walked from Windows to the shook near Shenkin street. It was a very nice walk- about 20 min. We then walked through the shook and then started walking to where we were going to be meeting her parents for dinner. We did some shopping on the way and I got 2 dresses. For dinner we went to a place called Japanika, which is really good and not super expensive. After I hailed a cab to Jaffo to meet up with my group at a place called Cafe Jaffo for a concert. After the concert, Amy, Shay, Eric, and I went to the Jaffo port to just look at the water. I sat on the rocks and just watched the waves roll in. It was so peaceful and calm to just stare into the sea. Nice to reflect for a bit, and the view was amazing. To my right was Tel Aviv, and to my left was old Jaffo. After we went to hang out with Shay's cousin for a bit.

Today I got to sleep in before work which was fabulous. At work I worked mainly on the implementation plan, which is hopefully almost completed. I also tried called the British Embassy in Jordan because they needed some visa stuff straightened out for the Palestinians for their trip to Scotland, but that didn't work because they dont talk to people about Visas over the phone. After work I just came home to relax. We have a program with the scouts and then I may or may not be doing stuff afterwords. Tomorrow we are going to Hebron and we have to leave at 7:15 am.

This weekend I will be in Jerusalem so I will post another blog Sunday evening most likely.
