Ramallah and the day of Anger

This note from my friend prior to leaving:

Hi Teresa,

As u might be watching in the news, it is very unstable currently. the roads between cities and villages are infested by settlers. Inside the cities is quite and almost normal, but it is at checkpoints and if u travel. National societies for resisting occupation are calling for Friday to be a "national anger day", i am not sure what will this mean. I will check on road condition before i leave home, and if it is dangerous, then i will not come on Friday. I will try to visit u during the week in the evening if that works with u.

Take care

Ansam

We made it to the hotel with out any problems. Our checkpoint was quiet. We. Walked around Ramallah, to Yassar Arafat' tomb. Then, 20 ambulances drive by as we safely eat dinner.
