Excerpt:
"It was one of those days when you feel stuck in front of a hair dryer and think you'd collapse after walking a block. Anyone arriving in Eilat after the six-hour drive through the desert was struck by the dryness in his nostrils and burning in his throat.
The Peace Cafe' provided little respite from the heat, being just a hole-in-the-wall with an awning out front. Located right off the town's main street, the Peace Cafte' was the popular hangout for travelers in Eilat, a place to meet friends, get a cheap meal or drink, listen to music, or simply sit and watch the world go by. John often found a reason to drop by there, whether to quench his thirst or just strike up a conversation. Speaking five languages fluently plus bits of others, John was rarely at a loss for words and always found someone to talk to."
