Falafel in the City!

Hi everyone!  I know I didn't update the blog this week because life is soooo crazy busy, getting ready for Turkey. We have three midterms this week before our trip and we leave for Turkey on Sunday morning.  Obviously things are a little hectic
But i'll post a picture for you just to tide you over until i get back from Turkey!

THIS my friends. Is a falafel.  Purchased just inside Damascus Gate in the Old City.  It is soooo beyond yummy.  My mother scared me about falafel because she has had it before, and apparently it wasn't real falafel or something because she said it was terrible.  But ohhhhh this is definitely the real deal. It is so yummy!  I got it for 7 shekels which is pretty decent, usually they go for about 15.  You tell the guy to put everything in it, and he takes a warm pita and fills it with hot falafel balls, potatoes, all kinds of sauces and vegetables which I cannot name (i think some are pickled, like the reddish-purple stuff tastes like pickles) and it is so good. And that's just a taste of the Old City! (: It's a marvelous place.  I wish I had time to show you more stuff but I have midterms and then I'm off to Turkey this weekend for 7 days!  Can't wait to show you everything!
Love you all to the moon and back.
Happy birthday to my dearest Grandpa today (: I really felt him here with me today.  I think he loves the City too.  He's definitely my guardian angel while I'm so far away from home.
Love you!
Love,
Kaela
