SHABBAT SHALOM FROM THE
HOLY LAND!
I can't believe I'm here!
Seriously, this is one of the coolest places ever.
Okay so it started with
the flight- from Salt Lake to JFK I made some new friends, so that was nice.
Then from JFK to Tel Aviv I was supposed to sleep...I did not get any winks of
sleep that flight so that was lovely. But when we landed, I almost didn't make
it past the passport guy because I told him I was studying here instead of
traveling (which is what we were supposed to say) so he almost didn't let me
go...haha but I made it! Then we drove up to the center, which is on the top of
a hill and it is SO BEAUTIFUL! Except when we got here it was raining like
crazy! So we couldn't see the Old City yet, but now that it has cleared up the
view is great! It snowed too! Like 6 inches or something on Wednesday night, so
Thursday we woke up to what looked like Provo all over again haha. Then
Thursday was full of orientation activities so that was nice, except I kept
falling asleep...And today is our first day of class! I'm writing this super
early because I couldn't sleep again, the prayer call woke me up this morning
(but I like it so it doesn't bother me!). Anyways, here are a few pictures of my
life right now, the internet is not so great but I will add more next time, ENJOY!
My roomies Tori, India and Chloe! Snowy in J-Town!
Dome of the Rock with snow on top!
I bought a skirt at DI...and my roommate India found the matching shirt!
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?!
Sunday outfit next week? Check!

ReplyDeleteDitto the Jules! Blogging might seem like a pain, but there are sooo many who want to know about your experiences and life in Jerusalem! Hilarious your roommate ound te top to your skirt......see your fashion ALONE needs to be well tracked! You are so lucky to have this experience. I cat wait to read it all as this time unfurls. I totally didn't expect snow on the Ome of the Rock. Does it snow often tree? How many kids are there. How much free time do you get? If you leave the center, do you have to be accompanied by anyone
