Santa Got Served: Season One. Monday, February 18, 2008. Episode 26: "The Summer City" . We kicked off the trip by doing a short hike in the desert by the city. Extremely rocky stuff, very cool though. After a while we got a great view of Eilat by the Red Sea, as well as Jordan a long way off. Camera's on the freaked-out customers inside the ball. The next day, we did a "tour" of Eilat, really just coming down to one historical site and hearing how Israel and Jordan didn't get along in this city. The...

Val remembered how I felt about Charise's story. "This one's not ours," he said. We should have told them. I felt pretty guilty in the imme...

I had worried about that last part the night before. A friend of mine was having her birthday party on the same night- meaning that even if enough people showed to make my. Wasn't ready f...

In that case, turkey and other Thanksgiving All Stars were most definitely served. And you can bet I was thankful for it. At dinner with my friends Dani and Ashley. Eric and I, 2/3 of the Egypt crew. Cross your fingers for me. Yigal Lev...
