Pita-Eating Champion!

Let me just explain really quickly: There are a lot of pitas in Jerusalem. There is also nutella that comes in the size of an ice cream bucket or larger that is out for every meal. Nutella + Pitas = Delicious! That brings us to today's story...

Liz quickly became a celebrity yesterday when she was discovered to have eaten more pitas than anyone else in the center! Brother Judd, the religion teacher from the other class, asked his students on their daily quiz how many pitas with nutella they had consumed since arriving at the center. While talking to him the following evening, he told us the highest number was 12. Liz was shocked. She started counting and decided she had eaten at least 20 by that point. (Keep in mind, we had only been here 1 week!) All of the faculty caught wind, Brother Judd announced it in his class and our dinner table that night all heard it from the source herself. We learned just how quickly word spreads in our little community! We eventually realized the others were only counting the pitas WITH nutella and she was counting any pita at all. Once she realized that, the number dropped drastically. It was too late though. We frequently find ourselves walking around the center now, receiving congratulations from anyone and everyone on her accomplishment!
