I'm here!

[theyellowhobbit]

I arrived in Jerusalem, safe and sound, staying at A.P.'s apartment. She's out rock-climbing in Zichron Ya'akov (which is actually right near Tel Dor!) at the moment. I've showered and changed into new clothes, much needed after spending the past day on an airplane. Part of me wants to walk around carrying my patiche and trowel, but I doubt the Israeli security guards would be pleased, and people would look at me funny.

I'm starving, so I think I'm going to get a late lunch somewhere. I like the restaraunts on Emek Refaim, but I also wanted to go shopping on Ben Yehuda Street. I suppose I could do both, though it involves a lot of walking. I'm kinda equidistant from both right now.

It's so beautiful here! I'll probably be taking a billion pictures, though I don't want to seem like a tourist. I don't consider myself one anymore. I just like taking pictures of pretty things. (Look at all the Penn photos I've taken. I was definitely not a tourist at my own school...) Maybe I'll jsut walk around, and enjoy the Israeliness of it.

Why did I ever think that I wanted to live anywhere else but here?

Sounds great! I hope you have a great time. Glad you got there safetly.

Totally. Where in Jerusalem are you going to be?

[http://users.livejournal.com/stone_/]

I'm actually going to be in Har Choma which is a little outside regular J'lem. But it's still the general area.

Tomorrow morning I'm coming in for a Bris in Har Nof though. Unsure what the rest of the day is going to look like.

Well I'm free during the day, until around 6ish (maybe I should say 5 to play it safe and have enough time to get back to the apartment i'm currently in and get read for Chag)...but the rest of the day is free. I'm thinking about heading to the old city at some point in search of pretty mezzuzah covers that have room for a klaf at least 4 inches long...

I just tried calling your number, and someone else picked up.

If you still have time to get together, I'll be around. Just give me a call.

We were just there, but now we're in Har Homa and probably not leaving until after Shavuot is over :/
