no ma'am, i don't work at the consulate but go ahead and tell me everything you know

went around the city in a car for the first time

played the carillon bells for a full 45 minutes

christmas songs!

then chased our director around the center for about 2 hours trying to get permission to leave the center tonight

finally tracked him down, then spent another hour figuring out logistics with security.

finally got out

to east jerusalem

to a beautiful apartment, home to a beautiful lady from the branch

who was hosting a "pie tasting"

we made a quiche

and ate lots and lots of delectable pie

and talked to amazing people

and, as the title suggests, were assumed to work at the consulate

score.
