so much for forever

Today was an interesting day. We woke up this morning and went on a tiyul about Islam. We spent the morning talking to an imam and learning a little bit about Islam and Muslim people. At around 11:30 we got on the bus and went to another Muslim village for lunch. We had all you can eat falafel. It was really good! After lunch we went back to Tzuba and started general studies. Mom, grammy and poppy, sat in on some of my classes and at 6 when I was done we went into Jerusalem. We were dropped of at Ben Yehudah Street and went shopping for a while. Mommy bought me a really pretty hanukkiah ( we decided I would get one that I would have for the rest of life) and we bought some other presents. But then we all started to get really hungry. So we went to dinner at an amazing restaurant. It was a kosher restaurant but rather then choosing one for the restaurant to focus on they just had 2 sides to the restaurant. We choose to eat in the meat area. They brought out grilled veggies and bread to start. Then I had broccoli (for the first time in months- it was wonderful). Then our main dishes came. Poppy and I had steak and mom and Grammy shared a steak, teriyaki and noodle thingy. It was all soo good! And I even got mom’s leftovers to take home. Then disaster struck. I was getting all our bags so we could leave and my hanukkiah fell out of the bag. It split into a million pieces! I was so upset! Mommy felt bad b/c she knew that she should have warned me it wasn’t fully wrapped and such but I still felt/feel terrible. Mom and I ran back up to he store to see if it was still open but it wasn’t. To try and make me feel better grammy, mommy and poppy made me get ice cream and it kinda worked. Then we went searching in the other stores to try and find the same hanukkiah. We found almost the same exact one but the guy in the store wasn’t very nice. Then we called the cab to come get us cause I couldn’t stand searching anymore for the night. When we got back to Tzuba I hung out with mommy for a while and then went to my room. Now I am writing this and am still sad and feel bad.
