soooooo this morning alice and i woke up late for the greenhouse project, but early enough (luckily) to convince alon to convince the bus driver to pick us up near our house. score! we jumped on the bus, and one of my faves, rachael, called me over to her seat to listen to westlife (boy band from ireland). i was beside myself. we had a great day in the greenhouse preparing soil, water, squeegying, and planting peppers and tomatoes. it was really cool. i definitely got into the hard labor. it is very therapeutic. i felt like i did something with the kids today. i really like it. we ate there, and got dropped off at the school in just enough time to pick up the video camera from the TV station and get to kadima. had a fun day there, playing soccer. filmed a little bit, but sivan said we can't do anything with the footage without parental consent. so that sucks. hopefully we can work it out. worked with the kids a bit, played more soccer, and right before we left sivan gave alli and i a heart to heart. she told us how bad some of the kids have it at home and how important it is to them that we come every week. it means so much to them to have someone to hug and ask them how their day was. it made me a little teary. we walked home afterwards, so i could meet my mom at the house. she was to come all by her lonesome on a sheruit, then another sheruit to ramla. however, after several confused phone calls, she ended up in jerusalem. then after a few more confused phone calls, she was walking to lod. eventually she got here and we watched 'a league of their own'. fuck that's a good movie. anyway, now we're going to tel aviv to be picked up for a tour of jerusalem tomorrow. really fucking early too. so i'm going. but i love everyone. goodnight.
love,
sally
