Arrival of PPOE in Palestine/Israel

Hi Everyone:

Thursday - Marc Scarpa (one of our producers) and myself left Los Angeles for Israel. After a long and moderately comfortable flight we arrived safely on Friday 2:10PM

One degree of seperation - While standing in line waiting to clear customs Marc found himself standing right next to a dear long time friend Carmen from NY. She is an art dealer in NY who had flown in to see her husband, who is one of members of the Blue Men Group, perform in Israel.

We were met at the airport by Nell of Tommorrow's Youth, who had kindly arranged to drive us to our hotel in Jerusalem. The country side is beautiful. After a quick cat nap Marc and I met Nell and Sami for dinner and discussed the scheduled meetings over the upcoming days over a wonderful meal.

Saturday - Today Sami picks us up at the hotel and we drive to Bethlehem to meet with the man who just produced the Pope's event at Manager Square. More...later
