never as planned

i actually didn't leave when i said i did. because of the carnage in Gaza, there were protests and potential troubles throughout the region. so, i stayed put and changed my flight ahead for another day. am finally in Jordan now.
Sonia has my car and seems to know the roads fine on her own now. she's a great traveler.
i should mention that getting past the bridge was hugely frustrating. my name is apparently on some list. i had to wait 7 hours again. that must be the magic number, btw.
let me mention that the Salon du Livre and the Turin book fair are celebrating Israel this year. European nations have aligned themselves once again on the side of aparthied, racism, and religious persecution. history will reveal them on the wrong side of justice, again. they have learned nothing.
