Mount of Olives Brush with Death

Catchy title huh! but by no means an understatement!! So my dearest waz had some friends in town staying in a secluded (but beautiful) area in the Mt of O. i got instructions and bombed in the general directions at 8ish, the T-junction when i encountered it was not a normal T-junction (which would generally look like a little sweety store selling barbie dolls in the front window)- rather it was the tall, solid and grey separation wall being set up by the Israeli Army..hmm..me thinks to myself, didn't know they lived next to that!! anyway the instructions were as follows...after the "T-junction" go up the street and when you see a "pile of rubble and a wall, take the road in between"....before on the phone this seemed logical info, until i realised that the whole road was strewn with building debris and "pile of rubble" was not going to cut it..anyway i will not sport with you any longer.. i went up a severely dodgy alley (its dark!) only to find it was infested with shady-looking men at the end..never have i made a most excellent 3-point turn in my life! i regrouped at the end of the road and called for better instructions, and it was only a few minuites later that i saw the Israeli police screeched into the nest i had just safely exited, and jump out with guns and batons...obviously a party they had been planning for some time! yikes! Anyhoo i finally made it to the place and had a great time with wazzie's friends! Praise the Lord!
