Happy day

  Maybe we are getting more efficient, maybe the local staff is moving faster to get rid of us.  It is 9pm and I am in the hotel restaurant drinking a fresh mango juice. Five cases today.
  But the real news today is they announced that the border between Egypt and Palestine/ Gaza strip will open on May 14th.  This is big local news. Imagine not being able to leave Portland for 5years, unless you file for a visa that may or not be approved. The people are going crazy on the streets, hanging out of cars waving large Fatah and Palestinian flags.  A lot of honking.  I asked Kahlad, one of our PCRF helpers, where he would like to go in Egypt.  He said it didn't matter he just wanted to be able to go somewhere else for 2 weeks with his family.
  We were told that you have to pay $1000 to go through the tunnel at the border.  I guess those guys will be out of a job.
  Anyway, hallis, or "enough".  Here are some pictures:

My fresh strawberry juice and breakfast.

Al Majd is not feeling well today, vomiting despite the NG since surgery.  His mother and father with him constantly.
