The world is full of anomalies. It is hard to describe how I feel sitting on the balcony of the Palm Hostel in Jerusalem overlooking Damascus Gate and its conjugal Palm trees. I mailed by camera home yesterday and I am hoping that the universe will deliver it safely to my doorstep. I am leaving Palestine with nothing but my experience. My videos must follow me by post because of security at the airport. I found out too late that my footage will not back up to DVDs so mailing the entire camera was the only way. It is a hard disk which means the hardware that stores the footage is inseparable from the camera.

But what now? I'm not really sure how to go about my normal life anymore. It takes a trip like this to shake all your perceptions of reality and render you perplexed and even more restless than before. So I think all I can do now is upload some last pictures because I don't know what else to say. Maybe I will write one last post in a few days when I am in the states and have digested some things.
