Ammunition Hill

Yesterday was my free day, which meant going out and exploring the City! I was so excited to get out and go see the city and do something outside and not worry about time or anything. I knew that this would be the only day i would be out in the city since all this week I have Finals.
I am excited to be done with most if not all my classes, but know this week will not be fun at all with all the studying I have and will not have time to go out in the city. So I wanted to live it up yesterday and just stay out as long as I can, and probably wont be writing the rest of the week because I wont be in the best of mood! :) haha

But ammunition hill is a museum and a park the commemorates the Israelite that died in the 6 day war in 1967. It had a huge tank, which was really fun to climb it and then soon later found out on a sign with arabic and hebrew that said "no climbing" but oh well I havent studied enough arabic to know what it means and I can use the excuse of a dumb American I guess. But the movie was amazing to see, and I was surprised to know it wasn't free to watch. We soon found out that the place may close due to lack of funds, so I am thinking of the money I paid for the movie as a donation. It was just really funny to be charged by the workers there, and in front of us were discussing how much to charge us. At least the movie was cool, and we got to sit and have the entire room to ourselves.
Afterwords we headed to the Old City to get lunch at a local restaurant. Lina's has the best hummus in the world with amazing pitas. You just have to be comfortable with the next table touching you, and able to eat with an occasional bump in the back by people walking through the aisle. I am getting better at just going in and shoving my way in to get a table or to pay for stuff because here, if you wait in "line" you will be waiting a long time. It was hard to realize that no one really waits their turn, but rather when you are ready you shove your way up there.
I then did a little shopping, which is always a fun time to bargain down the merchants and able to get a good price if you are really friendly. Some of my guy friends complain how girls are able to get a better price then them, but I think it is perfectly fair and I dont mind flirting a bit to get a better price.
I then headed back and started some studying, and since then have been going to class and studying, so thats about it. But stay tuned because next week I will be in Turkey!! :)
That is when things will get interesting, and I can hardly wait!!
