Turns out that Travamine is in fact Dramamine, and it works wonders, except that it gives you a nasty cold medicine buzz for about an hour after you take it. Didn't bother to tell the sailing instructor that i was buzzed when i arrived for my lesson, but luckily it wore off just as we launched. Had a much better time, and learned how to tack and jibe much more smoothly, although i still have butterfingers with the rudder, and tend to over/understeer during the switchover. Ocean is full of jellyfish: mostly head-sized white ones, with a few tan ones and some beautiful, brilliant blue ones mixed in. I was told that the mediterranean has no native jellyfish; when the suez canal was built, they migrated in from the red sea. They sting too, I'm told.
The red leather that is the tops of my feet is somewhat less sensitive today, though it still hurts like a bruise when I touch them.
Looked into a trip to Tzfat for a day, which would mean Wed and thurs nights in a hotel, but thursday seems pretty busy, so instead, tomorrow I'll go to jerusalem and visit Yad Vashem, and then maybe afterwards just lie down for a while.
There are so many inked up people here now; the women as much as the men. It's weird, and kind of sad. Now the Chosen People can have their tramp stamps just like all the other nations.
