| Well I am in Israel! I have decided for now at least to
post blogs and pictures on xanga when I get a chance too because this
allows people who do not have facebook to see pictures as well. I
will try to post often, but posts might not be very often because the
schedule is very rigorous here. I am only taking four classes which
doesnt seem much. But just one class period each day is 2 hours long.
Today I have three classes: Land and Bible, Life of Christ, and
Biblical Hebrew. Tomorrow I will only have one class: Hebrew. The
schedule is almost different every day because accomodations have to be
made for field trips and things. I already highlighted all my classes
on the schedule, and even though the classes move, I still will have an
8:00am class every day!!
I dont have much time right now. I am waiting to go to lunch in 10
minutes, but I just wanted everyone to know that I am alive. Even
though it is just Wednesday right now it feels like we have been here a
while. On Monday we got a tour of the Moshav, IBEX orientation, a water
fight to keep us awake, and a group picture. Yesterday we spent the
whole day touring the Old City of Jerusalem. Some of the places we
visited were the Jaffa Gate, the Citadel (where we got a good view of
the old city), the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Shaban's (to change
our money to shekels), the Damascus Gate (we walked through the Arab
quarter), we walked along the western wall of the Temple Mount (through
the Arab cemetary), we visited the pools of Bethesda (in the Arab
quarter), and then a part of the Jewish Qarter where we could see the
wailing wall from a distance. It was a long, hot, sweaty, tiring day,
but very fun to see all of these places. I think my favorite part
actually was just walking through the shops especially in the Arab
quarter and just seeing the daily lives of the people. Also, it was
interesting to see the distinct difference between the Arab and Jewish
quarters.
Well I am running out of time right now, so I will post some picture
when I have more time. Thank you for your prayers! I will try to keep
everyone updated. I am sorry this post was kindof all over the place, I
will try to be more structured in the next ones.
Annie
