Jerusalem
I am here, it is hot, and I am ready for a long nap. To bad orientation starts at 6, and it is almost 5 now. It is in the 90's here and really dry, but there is a nice breeze to keep it tolerable in the shade. So after over 20 hours of traveling and some really wild driving by the bus driver from Tel aviv to Jerusalem I am alive and in one piece. And I must say that Jerusalem is not at all what I expected. From watching news coverage I expected alot of damage and rubble, but the building and house are beautiful and all a light brown limestone. It is very impressive. Seeing the Old City walls for the first time was ana amazing experience. I could not believe how solid and intact that they were. So farthe only that turned out as I expected it is the heat and the dryness. I am eagerly waiting to see what other surprises are awaiting my. God bless you all.
Great to know you arrived safely! Thanks for keeping up with posts! It will be awesome to read about your experiences in Jerusalem.
