We are on our way to Ramallah today to meet Mark's dear friend, Ginny. She is a teacher in Cairo, and she happened to be here working on a grant proposal for Relief International/Schools Online while we were nearby, so we are going to see her today. We will leave here in a taxi for a drive of about 1 1/2 hours to Ramallah. We will go through a checkpoint, and then meet her at her hotel, I think. Mark's in charge of the details, of which I am not entirely sure. She works until about 5:00, so we will see the city a little and then meet with her. Ramallah has a reputation for being very affluent and has a large Christian population. Many of the residents apparently have relatives in America. They say that it is very expensive looking there, with hotels and resorts. I'll let you know what we find and our impressions upon our return. We will spend much of the evening with Ginny, and then we will return to Bethlehem (maybe by 11:00 pm our time/3:00 pm Texas time).
Another new place today...and then I think we will go to Jeruselem on Saturday morning for a Saturday/Sunday visit. We hope to go to Jeruselem two times while we are here. I have been wanting to go there very badly, but our classes have been almost every day.
We miss and love you all. Thank you for your words of encouragement and love in your emails and comments. You help us more than you know.
