Hebrew, Zodiac, and all my fans

Trying to learn Hebrew in an Ethiopian classroom ... This little piggy's head is swimming.


Pig is on the zodiac wheel right?


Finally I found an amphitheater to fit all my adoring fans in Bet Shean.

Salt Cured Pig

Sure you have heard of pigs in space but in the Dead Sea?!
Dead Sea is right, I mean where's the party?! Why are people relaxing like this is some sort of spa treatment?
I've got the salt who has the pepper?
Anyone else's mad poppin'?!

Pig and packs

Smoke 'em if you got 'em! If I don't pay the balance on my credit card how much will these cigs cost me with interest?
You MUST try this iced tea flavored something because it's extra juicy?
Educated gum? Or for the "Professional" gum chewer?

Pig on the road

I'm in the desert. Is that an oasis or has the heat gotten to me?! Anyone else feeling thirsty?

Pig goes up ...

Piggy of the Mountain!
A bathhouse built for a king ... Or a pig.
I hope they're vegetarian snakes. Maybe I should go a different direction.
This looks better. This little piggy is going to play mountain goat! Onward ho!
I hope they have HBO, I hear I missed quite an episode of Game of Thrones.
How much weight does this box on a rope hold?
Piggy goes up, Piggy ensure a ride down.

Blushing Pig

Bringing new meaning to dirty underwear.

Pig underground

Western Wall tunnels. Pig prefers sunshine and mud.


 Visiting the Western (Wailing) Wall.


At THE Garden of Olives, and starting to get hungry.


Dining with the locals ... STARVING!


After a long day of walking it's best to rehydrate. This counts right?!
Pumpkin carpaccio and ajami ... This little piggy be super hungry!
It's water ... I swear!
Model of Jerusalem before destruction. Looks like quite a city, and just about my size.

No escape for Pig

Texas haunts me wherever I go.


On top of Mount Scopus all covered with .....




Drinking time. All that sunshine makes a little pig thirsty.


Falafaaaaaaal!


View from the top of the Tower of David/Phausael Tower.


How long was I asleep on that bus? When did we get to the Netherlands?


I know an American-German gal who would be picking fruit off this tree if she was with me.


Dinner time!!!!


Mary had a little lamb. Pig feels a little guilty about this...


This little Piggy goes to market

I LOVE foreign groceries.


I know some German boys who may move here because of this discovery.


Oreo's specially for Aunt Beki.
Now this is a can of Harissa I can get down with ... None of that wimpy tube sized stuff.


Special treats for my friends back home (Melissa and Caitlin to be exact) . . . If this little piggy doesn't get hungry before then.

Check out this view

Home for the next few days. Pig can't complain
View of Jerusalem from my hotel.
Traffic, same in every city, but it looks prettier from up here.
Yet another hotel with a sprawling view . . . Yawn.

Pig in Israel

Here we go again! Boy domestic terminals are boring. I miss you Terminal D!
So I guess this is a smoking flight?
Salvation is a personal media player on a 12 hour flight. Hey, I think I know these two...
Better brush up on my language study.
Airport goofing and lolly gagging.
