Jerusalem

Well, it took a few minutes for me to figure out how to switch my internet from Hebrew to English, but success! And so, we're here - Jerusalem!

We flew to Rome first, which took about ten hours, then jumped on a flight to Tel Aviv. I can never sleep on planes, so I've been awake for this entire time. I'm not sure if it's my actual presence in Jerusalem or delirium from lack of sleep that's making it all feel so surreal.

The city is absolutely beautiful. Apparently, the British mandated that the entire city be built from local limestone, so everything is gleaming stone. The air is warm, but light thus far. We took a walk around a downtown part of the city, Ben-Judah street, which we'll be sure to get to know really well due to its vicinity to the campus of Jerusalem University-College, where we're staying.

Well, we have class early in the morning, so I'll be sure to update more later on some more exciting points of our trip.

Shalom!
