Breakfast is a big Israeli buffet including lots of dairy (yogurts, cheeses), fresh dates (not the dried ones—a middle east treat), eggs, smoked fish, salads, breads and pastries, a very slightly sweetened cheesecake that’s more like a meal than a dessert. We all bring our laptops and phones, so we turn it into an American breakfast. Always working and always on vacation, as J-R says.

We take a walk on top of the wall that surrounds the old city of Jerusalem, and then end up in the Muslim Quarter on our way out. A small taste of what’s to come when the group tours the city later on. Then there are planning meetings with Benji.

Jsu complained last night that I’m not on Facebook anymore. My attitude is that there isn’t anyone on Facebook. Those are words and pictures; they’re not people. After zonking out in jet-lag-coma for part of the afternoon, I spend some time getting back on Facebook. It’s fun because there are so many choices. Right now I’m a 103-year-old woman who was born in Bora Bora. (I tried telling them I was a hermaphrodite—the “truth”—but the page wouldn’t let me.) I went to the College of the Sequoias but dropped out in my sophomore year because I changed my mind and didn’t want to be a sequoia anymore. My sister is Eve Ryone and my brother is Al L. Ofus.

Like any other virtual reality or hallucination it’s temporarily freeing, but I learn that I haven’t really left because I find myself back again. So I go and do SE’s so I can really leave instead of virtually leave.

Always working and always on vacation.
