Hey, I Know You!

So Jay and I are finishing up our first venture to Machane Yehuda - the shuk (Israeli market = cheapest place for groceries) - by purchasing some Marzepan rugalach. I look up and entering the store are Ashley Kochman and Dean Medina - friends from Toronto who are leading a Birthright trip right now. I hung out with them for a bit, bought a shuk cart - it's pretty and striped, saw Shaun Hoffman (another Toronto friend now living in Jerusalem) and then made a new friend to shop with in the shuk - Yoni - one of Shaun's roommates for the summer. That's my story of the great sequence of events that took place by finding friends in the shuk.
