Molly and Bess on Moshe Hess

“Molly on Moshe Hess” just doesn’t have the same ring to it…

Amman Jordan Cats! Thank you to SO Josh Bloom for submitting these photos!

Jerusalem Cat Photo of the Day! 

This cat is perched on the roof of our neighbor’s house, much like a bird would be in a normal city. 

Another laborious day of studying liturgy

Yom Bess - יום בס

Most of the plans Molly, David, and Amy made for today fell through, but they still got a lot done. Here is their Top 5 of the Day:

1. David and Amy had their first taste of an Iced Aroma

2. We spent some time in the Old City and visited some Jesus sites. 

3. After deciding we didn’t want to pay to visit the Israel Museum, we drove by the Knesset. 

4. Visiting the military cemetery on Mt. Herzl

5. Nothing says Shavuah Tov like Babette’s Waffles!

Afula Cat Photo of the Day!

Molly and Bess are still in Petra! Here is their Top 5 of the Day:

1. Eating breakfast with our good friends, Thomas and Annette. 

2. Climbing to the monastery (800 steps) with Andrew and Hannah…and finding the location where they filmed Transformers!

3. Popeye’s Biscuits and Quizno’s in Aqaba!

4. Mexican Layered-Dip Pringles! The “Restaurant Cravers” line of Pringles has changed our lives forever. Who needs to go to a restaurant when you can get mozzarella sticks and marinara in a can?

5. Getting pulled over by the “Jordanian Police” for speeding. We’re still not sure if they were actually the police (see sketchy photo above), but the guy had a gun, and that’s all that mattered. 

This weekend Molly and Bess decided on a whim to go to Petra, Jordan. Here is their Top 5 of Traveling to Jordan:

1. Sharing a cab to Petra with Jodie’s fiancé’s great-uncle’s tenant, Thomas, and his wife Annette. The connection is so close, we might as well be related. 

2. Welcome to Jordan, the friendliest place on earth! We’ve never been through a more pleasant customs experience. 

3. Our free tour guide, who learned English from watching Dr. Phil. 

4. Running into our classmates, Andrew and Hannah in Petra!

5. Spending $1.80 an hour for a night’s sleep at the Peace Way Hotel. Worth every dinar, and nothing more…

Our dream has been realized! Our video of the Holy Fire in Jerusalem has been given the status of “viral” by YouTube AND it was on the YouTube homepage!

Now we just need to get on Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! and life will be complete…
