Paradise city were the grass is brown and the girls are covered

everyday drew and I make it a point to look at each other and remind one another where we are. Its crazy because our house looks like any other house now that we decorated, but the moment we step outside or look out our windows, were like "oh yeah we're living in another country, and not only any country but the Holy Land." Last night was such a good and needed time, we walked around a place, that at first reminded us of home so comfortable and secure, but as we continued to walk more into the Locals part of town we realized where we were, guys walking around with their Jewish wardrobes you know the tassels and curls, and we just kept looking back and forth at one another to confirm this experience. We then began walking the allies of town with walls so close to you on both sides with uneven steps and different types of stones used, which for both of us was jaw dropping cause it was obvious how long ago these were built. You all know us well enough and especially drew, to know that we were touching everything, putting our faces as close as we could to the walls to see the crazy details and pointing out everything new that we had never seen, oh and drew trying to climb the walls of course but don't worry they weren't that tall. We then got to our destination, a karaoke spot that was run by the church we attended on Friday. We picked our spots at a table full of popcorn, and for those of you who know me well enough you know how i feel about popcorn, so i ate it all, did I eat the seeds? just ask my sister. The small crowd contained 3 Irish guys, 1 English girl, 1 Local, 4 Americans....bring the party on!!! we laughed a lot because we sang very American songs, just imagine them singing "Every breathe you take, every move you make..." we laughed a lot, and the local loved Christmas songs so don't worry Christmas we are ready. The neat part of the night was when we went on the roof and say the lights of Jordan and the whole city of Jerusalem, the old and the new. Once we become more familiar with the history we will fill you in with info and pictures, don't worry i feel the camel riding coming soon. Off to life we go, we go we go we go.
