the protest project

2.11.03

I am on some sort of trip but its more like a field trip or guided tour with a group of people that I can't recall. We cross the border of the US over to Canada. Then we are in europe. It is very scaled down and the person that is guiding us is pointing out countries. Then he says...there is Luxembourg and in the front we see a flat field of dirt but behind it trees. The forest isn't that dense but you can visually see that the "country" isn't that large in comparison to the other "nations" around. So I start talking about some facts about this land. Someone in the class doesn't know where Luxembourg is exactly so I explain it but a large sorta CNN style map comes up. THe person says ok and I proceed to RUN to Luxembroug. I notice that the field is very level and my instructor says thats because it is air brushed. I say ok. Then a car comes up...ok...in my head I know its a volvo but its not shaped like on...its blue color (like the 83 DL color blue) but its shaped more like one of those PT Cruisers. I look inside and their are four girls but they are dressed like eastern european hmmm the people u see in the pictures. They are "going away". Getting away from their "country" (although it is never said exactly where they are from but they have the "accent" and all). Then all of the sudden this red Ferrari comes out and circles around the other car and us. Inside is a bit older white guy. Never says where he is from but he is kinda pissed that this other car is in the way (mind u that there are no roads here just space). So he runs off. Then the Volvo leaves and goes to my right and over. Don't see the Volvo anymore but then there is a crash. The Ferrari guy is pissed off cause he just hit the Volvo. The Ferrari backs up and takes off while the Volvo is there. I open the rear left side passager and see the girls...they look depressed because their car just got hit. The fiberglass of their car is fractured in a strange way. Not the typical rear damage but inside between the rear and front there is a lateral crack and you can see fiberglass exposed. So I ask the girls if they are ok and they say yes. I ask where they are going they say they are going to Maldives. I say ok...then I say you know that is a muslim country and they are like hmm sure but dont really seem to care. So they go off. We look around Europe more then I get a sense I need to find these girls in Maldives. So I go there. Its the middle of a street parade and street fair. I go into a shop and order a pita. Then we start having a conversation about how to make pita. The pita he gives me is heavy. Then he says he has another one that is fresh..and its very light. On his counter is a copy of Torah written in Hebrew. I open it up and start reading it. He says no no no we can't read it now its sabbath still. So I leave with my fresh pita. This place is crazy! Its amazing so many things going on. So many people. I eventually find the girls and convince them to come back to the US with me but we have to smuggle they out of the country because they now belong to someone. So we get them out (which is a bit of an adventure) and we are driving back to the US...trying to avoid detection. I make a comment that they should have better security on the border (strange! no border guard) and we get back to the US. So its me, the people from our field trip and instructor and the girls in the next car. We are now back in the US and happy we made it back. This is where the dream ends.
