9/11

      I landed in Telavi on 9/11. I had flown out of Boston on the morning
  of the hi-jacking. I was unaware of the attack on the Twin Towers.
  When I landed my guide Ramone informed me that the rest of the tour
  had canceled, but he would be willing to give me a private tour. I had
  secured a cheep package deal by tagging along with a group of Baptist.
  I asked Ramone why the Baptist had canceled. He explained the situation
  in New York: "Your country is under attack." I pictured a nuclear first strike.
  Ramone flipped a rosary in his right hand and explained exactly what had
  happened. Ramone was Palestinian and now he was fearful, "It will be
  open season on Palestinians." I said I would continue on the tour of
  Jesus' life.+

      I've always been intrigued by Bible history.
