Hug A Hoodie: Desert Roadtrip – Part One, Qumran
http://hugahoodie.blogspot.com/2011/07/desert-roadtrip-part-one-qumran.html
Wednesday, 13 July 2011. Desert Roadtrip – Part One, Qumran. Qumran is on the coast of the Dead Sea, about 30 miles from Jerusalem, and it takes less than an hour to get there. It’s very much on the beaten track, just off the main road and well marked out with brown tourist roadsigns. It looks so normal, it’s easy to forget where you are. I’ll pick up the rest of the story tomorrow in another exciting instalment. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Altrincham, Cheshire, United Kingdom.

Hug A Hoodie: Minor bus disaster
http://hugahoodie.blogspot.com/2011/06/minor-bus-disaster.html
Sunday, 26 June 2011. One of my friends from the course here is called Marijn, from the Netherlands. Most people on campus know him as the one whose name they struggle to pronounce. He's a theologian, with a special interest in the Old Testament and a good grasp of classical Hebrew - but here to improve his modern spoken Hebrew. The two of us went into the modern city centre of west Jerusalem for a drink this afternoon. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Altrincham, Cheshire, United Kingdom. Law student...

Hug A Hoodie: In Jerusalem
http://hugahoodie.blogspot.com/2011/06/in-jerusalem.html
Thursday, 23 June 2011. I flew out from Manchester nearly a week ago, and spent a few days with my cousins in Ra’anana, which is a coastal town slightly to the north of Tel Aviv. On Sunday, I got the bus over to Jerusalem, and registered at the University for one of their summer crash courses. Best get cracking with the homework, then. I’ll keep you posted.

Hug A Hoodie: Desert Roadtrip – Part Two, Ein Gedi
http://hugahoodie.blogspot.com/2011/07/desert-roadtrip-part-two-ein-gedi.html
Tuesday, 19 July 2011. Desert Roadtrip – Part Two, Ein Gedi. Once we’d finished at Qumran, we drove down to Ein Gedi, on the south-western shore of the Dead Sea. It’s a little oasis on the edge of the desert, and is well known for its nature reserve. Outside the complex, there’s a mud bath. Or to be more accurate, it’s a big flat area with a huge tub of Dead Sea mud in the middle. You’re supposed to rub the stuff all over yourself, exfoliate a bit, and then rinse off. You ge...Once we finished in the Dea...

Hug A Hoodie: Blog open for comments again
http://hugahoodie.blogspot.com/2011/07/blog-open-for-comments-again.html
Tuesday, 19 July 2011. Blog open for comments again. Sorry Just had an email pointing out that comments are turned off. I'd completely failed to notice. This is because the blog was dormant for a year or so, and I blocked comments because I was getting fed up with the spam. Now I'm blogging about my time in Jerusalem, I've re-enabled them, so on the off-chance anyone wants to say anything, they can do. Don't all rush in at once . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
