LET S GO<br />
Keeping in Touch<br />
Communicating with the<br />
folks back home can be done<br />
relatively easily via electronic mail.<br />
This is the m ost efficient and<br />
inexpensive way to keep tabs on<br />
loved ones across the ocean;<br />
however, one must expect long waits<br />
{really long w aits), broken<br />
computers, and keyboards lacking<br />
crucial parts such as space bars and<br />
the letter “e.” Also, don’t be<br />
surprised if your machine decides<br />
to take a nap two paragraphs into<br />
the m essage, or<br />
switch into Hebrew<br />
after you just spent<br />
45 minutes telling<br />
your best friends<br />
about your<br />
adventures in Jordan.<br />
Despite all o f the<br />
hassle, e-mail can<br />
keep you connected<br />
to the rest of the world<br />
and it sure costs less<br />
than a phone call!!<br />

Subject: Greetings from The Holy Land<br />
Sorry I haven’t written in so long —things have been pretty<br />
hectic around here. In between classes (?), I have been doing<br />
a lot of travelling. I was in Turkey last week, Jordan the<br />
week before and I’ll be exploring the wonders of Egypt this<br />
coming weekend. Rough life, huh? I heard it’s still snowing<br />
there —were you the one who said "why Israel?". Oh, yeah,<br />
how were midterms and that 35-page history paper? Was all<br />
that stress really worth it? Well, I better go, there<br />
are about 15 people waiting for this computer. Maybe I’ll<br />
take a walk to The Old City. It sure is beautiful out today.<br />
Say hi to everybody for me and be in touch...
