Jerusalem cont.

Freddy arranged these tours for us, which enabled us seeing a bunch of shit in the short amount of time we had, which was great.  Part of one tour had us going to Jericho, which I guess is controlled by the Palestinians.  At this point, once we got to the Souvenir center, we didn’t even want to check out what was supposedly the oldest inhabited town or something like that.  There was a lone german tourist in our group, whom I made the ill fated mistake of being nice to.

He was nice enough, but pretty weird and kind of like a dog you give some table scraps to, wouldn’t leave us alone.  He was like Dietrich, the character Mike Meyers used to play in SNL, like cliche stereotypical German dude.  ”Yaa, theeese is tourist trap, I’m not going to eat at the buffet.”  Ok, dude, we’re hungry, just stop creeping us out.
