First off, I'm still alive and kickin'. I saw the city of David on Thursday and hiked through some underground tunnels. People were not 6 feet 3 thousand years ago. I did have a 3 thousand year old headache the past couple of days.
Well all that aside, Tuesday night begins the 72 hours of heavy drinking for PURIM. A holiday celebrating the time the Jews were supposed to be exterminated...ha like there is only one time. Moving on, we drink out of celebration for this "specific" occurrence where a woman, named Esther, saved the Jews from being completely exterminated. To sum up how drunk you need to be: You can't distinguish bad from good.
This will be my second time drinking since I arrived a month ago. What a month! Mind has grown exponentially and continues doing so everyday. Quite exhausting really. May be the food, though. Take a lot of energy digesting the food here. Enough said.
I'll let you know how Purim goes.
