All Poped Out

You may have read that Pope Benedict was in Israel this past week. It was amazing the security that was put in place. One rumor we heard was Israel brought in 8,000 security personnel. That may be an excessive number, but it felt like it. The road that is around our school was totally shut down multiple time for 3 hours at a time. Then the Pope would drive by at some random time.

So, we’d have to get to school either waaaay early, or waaaay late. And plan on leaving waaaay early or late. Also, the road near our apartment, Hebron Road was shut down when the Pope headed to Bethlehem. Every five to ten feet, 3 or so cops would be standing around looking bored.

Needless to say, we’re glad the Pope is gone. He disrupted life in Jerusalem a hundred times more than Bush, Obama, or any other national leader did.

Whew!
