A quick post, mainly to upload some images.
The other night, they had a tour of the areas around the Old City and into the Old City. It was really interesting learning some of the biblical history of the area as opposed to just walking around and enjoying the scenery.
On Friday, the interns arranged a trip to Tel Aviv. We spent the first part of the day walking around the market, and the rest of the day at the beach. Unfortunately, we spent the time playing and didn’t really take any pictures. We finished off our day attending Shabbat services on the pier overlooking the Meditterean Sea. It was definitely very beautiful and different then any other service that I’ve been to. It was also entirely in Hebrew. The rendition of ‘What a Wonderful World’ completely in hebrew was a highlight for me.

Love traveling vicariously through Jerusalem. The pictures are excellent and it is a real treat to learn of your personal reactions to the symbols and surroundings. Please continue when you can. For persons like me who can only do virtual travel, this is exciting. And by the way, where DID that dumb penguin come from?
