Yesterday was an emotional day. We said goodbye to our friends at the SOS Children's Village in Bethlehem, and leaving wasn't easy for me. I began hatching desperate plans to stay for another couple of days, but knew that we had to head north to Ramallah and Nablus. It was time!
We spent the evening working and planning and eating on a cool (temperature-wise) patio. Ramallah is a huge change from Bethlehem. Huge. Where Bethlehem is slowish and quiet, Ramallah is nuts! So many people, so much road construction, so much partying. Our window is above an outdoor patio bar, and I have no idea when it emptied out.
There is very little money for completing the public works projects, so apparently roads remain in construction for months. Also, no money to maintain trash clean-up. It is loud, hot, kind of messy, it has tons and tons of international tourists, and I like it.
