Easter and Israel
As I write this, it's after dawn in Jerusalem (IDT=UTC+3). The year 2001 was supposed to be one of the best ever for Christian religious tourism in Israel (I won't count the Crusades, which weren't so great for the Israeli economy). I wonder what effect all of the recent violence there has had. I bet a lot of trips were cancelled and a lot of people are regretting not being in Jerusalem this morning.
My stepsister is getting married in Israel (where she lives) this summer. Unfortunately, I can't make it; a lot of my family is going to the wedding. I hope everything is OK for them.
