Iran Problems and Jerusalem

Now just a quick update as to what's going on with the whole "potential war" thing. I'm not too worried at the moment because there hasn't been a lot about the Iranian protected convoy on International news although I did find this article:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jun/06/gaza-blockade-iran-aid-convoy

This article does say some pretty interesting things including Iran's pledge to protect the convoy with everything they have and Israel's pledge to keep them away from Gaza. I'm going to be honest, both sides are a little nuts (if you read the article, you'll understand). I don't think this is a very good idea for Iran but if a war does break out, I'm pretty sure I'll be safe here or the embassy would recommend me leave the country, which I may follow up on.

Other than that, everything's going well. Daoud asked me to take my weekend tomorrow and the next day so I'll be heading to Jerusalem tomorrow. I'll explore a little bit and then at night, stay with Agnus (a german volunteer on the farm who lives in Jerusalem). I'm pretty sore and slightly burnt so all in all, I could really go for a beer which hopefully I'll find in Jerusalem. Next week, we'll continue digging the cistern for the entire week. Since my weekend is so early this week, I'll be working from Saturday - Friday this coming week (that's probably not going to be a lot of fun) in the cistern. Then, the week after, we're planning on renovating a cave in the valley that's belonged to Daoud's family forever. Overall, busy month coming up so I'm ready to get started (after a beer in Jerusalem).
