This Is Israel

I really wanted to start this post off with a picture, but I don’t have the one I want yet. One of the first things one notices when walking around in Israel is the cat. They’re everywhere! In the middle of our dorm complex (something else I need to get pictures of) is a nice park area. At least there are nice parts, those being the areas where it doesn’t smell like cat shit. I suppose I should also mention that the highs haven’t been below 90 °F since I got here. Yum!

Jerusalem

Hey everyone! Sorry for the complete lack of updates, but I’m lazy and the king of putting things off. I’ve been here a couple of weeks now, but I haven’t really done much touristy stuff. My time has been spent going to Ulpan (Hebrew language classes every morning), studying physics (I have an exam in Konstanz at the end of September), going to the beach and just getting settled in to the dorms. I have met tons of new interesting people, as well as tons of annoying Americans. Not all of the Americans here are annoying, the annoying-ness is concentrated to the group of 18-23 year olds. Who would have imagined?

That was what I woke up to last Wednesday. Where was I?
