CHRISTIANS?? BABIES??--SURE, I"M ALL FOR THEM!!!!!!
As Olympians are health food crazy (and we are--to that end--doing our part to blend in) it must be said that those who have taken to religion in these parts seem to have taken to it hard! Think the bible belt and the mid-west as opposed to what you would generally assume costal residents to believe. That said, religion has entered our lives in a multitude of ways since we've been here. From our interfaith Rosh Hashana dinner (which was a huge success) to other, more humours ways...
So i'm (It's Dara) looking for a job, and I have a posting up on craigs list. I've gotten a bunch or responces, but one looked kind of off. It was a woman who home schools her four children. She called them "little darlings" and what not. It sounded a little off. Jo got the same reponse to a past posting so she sent them my phone number.
This morning we are sitting eating breakfast, and I get a call, it's the woman. We chat she asks me about myself... and then she says... ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN? what was I to say but no, no i'm actually a Hebrew! She was kinda taken aback and then said "how do you feel about christians" I was so flustered that i responded "SURE I'M ALL FOR THEM!" I tried to recover and say "I went to hebrew school when I was younger so I know the first part of the bible" yeah that didn't go well either... I don't want to work for that psycho anyway....
The job hunt being what it is, our little weekend excusrion to the San Juan's with Jo's parents was a welcome getaway and if my computer battery wasn't about to die we would blog about it now, but since it is--pictures and an entry to come!
