"These boots are meant for walkin'..."

NOVEMBER 3, 2009
Jerusalem, Israel

“...and that's just what they'll do."

I went shopping today. I now look fabulous in my highly fashionable black jacket (with a black fleece-collar), complete with a set of highly fashionable black boots. They’re tall, with a four-inch heel, but they’re NOT “hooker boots.” They’re a specific type of boot that appears to be very popular among Israeli youth. Even orthodox girls wear them. If orthodox girls are wearing them, they’re definitely not hooker boots. But they ARE very warm, which is kind of what I need, since it’s still raining outside and I still can’t seem to find my shoes.

So it looks like I've finally finalized my travel plans to the "forbidden land." Unless something very important comes up, it'll be the of week the 15th. I’d prefer to be back in Jerusalem for Thanksgiving dinner at Mike’s Kitchen. Delicious. You know, I’m thinking Thanksgiving may very well mark the end of my “vegetarianism.” I’m practically salivating at the thought of freshly baked turkey.
