Fresh out of the car, Adam was back to his friend making. He discovered that his Arab brethren made up ninety percent of the Nazareth population, half Christian and half Muslim. I learned themes of "deals" and "free gifts" are common in gift stands as we walked up church hill.

An Egyptian storeowner lighted up once he heard the Iraqi’s accent. Kamal pulled out all the stops upon meeting Adam: Cola in see through cups that you aren't sure whether to drink out of or pee in and plastic crates he treated as thrones for us to sit on. Adam alerted me that he would be working Kamal for a souvenir discount. However, the charges appeared skewed. I asked Kamal why the difference between Adam's discount and mine. He explained, "Adam is friend and you is business." Great, I really piled it on due to Adam's assurance. Kamal, thanked me, laughed at me and kissed me twice after sticking me with the bill.
