Too much food and out too late

Porto

 I have slept 24 of the last 48 hours. My pool house is in the perfect, quiet neighborhood of Foz de Douro. 

Yesterday was stormy, so I went to the contempory art museum at Serralves. I didn't get it. Glad it was free on Sunday. I did enjoy the gardens. 

Today I took the tram to the old city center. The tiles here are beautiful. 

Just the train station;

Find the tourist with the biggest camara. Ask them to take your picture. 

Now getting hammered tasting Port. 

Frankfurt

Waiting to catch flight to Geneva then Porto. Left Jerusalem at 0200 after 1.5 hour sleep. Great last night in the old city

Best time to visit old Jerusalem

Is when there has been 1 week of conflict. We almost had the city to our selves. 

Israeli guards show of force on Via Delarosa. 

Cutch of the holy sepulcher. 

It's 1130pm. I have to catch a cab at 200am. 13 hours from then, I will be in Porto, Portugal 

Final hospital visit

Yuki and I say good by to OR staff

Wishes

I wish I could say it's been a great week and all our patients are great and that everything was great. 

 Despite a very good surgery, our last and most complicated case today had a bad outcome. We will check in the AM to see if things have changed and I think we are all praying or whatever, that they do. 

 We have been walking to and from the hospital instead of the ridiculous short cab ride our hosts want us to take. 

 Stairs on morning walk 

There was a lot of people ouside the hospital and several mini vans. We were told a Palestinian man was shot by Israeli soldiers while working in his field. It was a large peaceful staging for a procession  

Eventually, Yuki and I went to the Turkish bath. Our driver was in the film 5 Broken Camaras. An Oscar nominated Palestinian documentary I saw a few years back. 

We stopped for a sunset photo.
